Your question Which promise should I renegotiate?

The spread

  1. The rim Feather Lightness, a small kindness, and the option to travel without luggage. What to avoid: Flightiness in a week that needs a plan.
  2. The middle Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  3. The bottom Anchor Stability chosen deliberately. A place to stop drifting. What to avoid: An anchor that has become a weight.

The cup is turned three times on a Thursday in autumn, and the first shape settles near the rim, which is where the recent things live.

The heart of the cup is Mountain, describing a habit that costs you about an hour a day and is entirely fixable.

The final shape is a circle, and circles in the grounds mean a conversation returning to its starting point until someone changes a line.
