Your question Is this distance growing or healing?

The spread

  1. The rim Coin Money in a specific, countable amount, usually smaller than feared. What to avoid: An arithmetic problem left unfaced.
  2. The middle Crown Recognition, authority, and the attention that comes with both. What to avoid: A title held without the work.
  3. The bottom Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.

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

Crown occupies the centre, and it points at a small object, a key, a document or a borrowed thing that needs returning.

The last shape is faint, which means the answer is already there and simply not yet legible.

What to do

Let one thing be unfinished tonight.

Timing

The timing improves when the temperature changes.

Take with you

Slow is a strategy, not a failure.
