Your question What would the bravest version of me do today?

The spread

  1. The rim Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  2. The middle Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.
  3. The bottom Ship A journey with cargo. Something is being transported, including a mood. What to avoid: Departure used as a solution to everything.

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 Ship, 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.
