Your question Which habit is quietly running my life?

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 Ladder Rungs, order, and a rise that requires one step at a time. What to avoid: Skipping a step and rebuilding it later.
  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 read slowly because the grounds are always read slowly; hurry turns every shape into a bird.

With Ladder at the centre, the reading points at a favour you have been counting as a friendship.

The bottom of the cup warns about a plan that depends on perfect timing and forgiving traffic.
