Your question What is the smallest honest step?

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 Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.
  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 grounds are read the old way, from rim to bottom, which means the reading gets more honest as it goes.

The reading's core is Mountain, naming the thing that gets better the moment it is written down.

Then the grounds show a shape of doors, which is the cup's most straightforward yes.

What to do

Repair one thing before starting a new one.
