Your question Where does this path actually lead?

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 Bird News arriving in a small, quick form. A message, not a letter. What to avoid: Gossip mistaken for information.
  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.

At the centre, Bird, which describes a plan that is solid in outline and empty in detail.

Then the bottom of the cup contradicts the rim, which is the grounds' way of saying the first worry was not the real one.
