Your question What am I building without noticing?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Nauthiz Need and constraint. The useful pressure of a limited budget. What to avoid: Scarcity thinking applied to a full life.
  2. What is rising Thurisaz A gate and a thorn. The obstacle that is also the way through. What to avoid: Reacting to provocation on reflex.
  3. What must be cut Jera Harvest in its own season. Nothing to force. What to avoid: Expecting the result in the planting month.

Before the first rune, a note: these are letters before they are symbols, and letters are meant to be read.

The middle rune is Thurisaz, a rune of gift and obligation, which is the hardest kind of arithmetic.

The final line is an instruction: do the smallest version of the thing today, badly if necessary.

What to do

Do the kind thing, then the correct thing.

Timing

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