Your question What am I pretending not to know?

The spread

  1. The rim Eye Being seen, or finally seeing. Clarity with a witness. What to avoid: Watching instead of participating.
  2. The middle Tree Slow growth, deep roots, and a decision with a long horizon. What to avoid: Waiting for a tree to behave like a flower.
  3. The bottom Eye Being seen, or finally seeing. Clarity with a witness. What to avoid: Watching instead of participating.

The cup is read slowly because the grounds are always read slowly; hurry turns every shape into a bird.

Tree sits in the middle and names the thing you keep re-reading: a message, a contract, a message about a contract.

The final shape is a circle, and circles in the grounds mean a conversation returning to its starting point until someone changes a line.

What to do

Take the smaller portion and the longer walk.

Timing

Three weeks is the real timescale, whatever the deadline says.

Take with you

The feeling is information, not instruction.
