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

The spread

  1. The rim Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.
  2. The middle Key Access: a permission, a password, a person who can open something. What to avoid: Holding a key to a door that changed.
  3. The bottom Feather Lightness, a small kindness, and the option to travel without luggage. What to avoid: Flightiness in a week that needs a plan.

The first shape is near the rim, meaning it is fresh: this is about the last few days, not the last few years.

The middle of the cup holds Key. It sits exactly where your attention sits, and it describes something being carried rather than chosen.

The final shape is a line, and lines mean travel, usually the short kind that changes a mood.

What to do

Reduce the plan until it fits one afternoon.

Timing

This is a two-attempt job; the first one is practice.

Take with you

Doing it badly still counts as doing it.
