Your question What is costing me more than it is worth?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.
  2. The figure in the room Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.
  3. The figure who leaves Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.

Before the figures, a note: myths are not moral instructions. They are patterns, and patterns can be stepped out of.

The centre figure is Demeter, describing the inventor, and the specific loneliness of building something nobody asked for.

The last role is the returning one, which means the week ends with someone coming back into a room.

What to do

Repair one thing before starting a new one.

Timing

The first attempt should be small enough to repeat.

Take with you

The right people will not need the long version.
