The spread

  1. What the season gives Falling Leaf Release without grief. The tree does not negotiate. What to avoid: Letting go of something that still had a season left.
  2. What it takes Quiet Fog Reduced visibility and the usefulness of going slower. What to avoid: Pretending to see clearly in the fog.
  3. What it asks of you Thaw Movement after stillness, and the mud that comes with it. What to avoid: Expecting the thaw to arrive already organised.

It is autumn in Washington, D.C., and the reading begins with the least mysterious fact available: the light is a particular length today.

Quiet Fog stands at the centre and describes the specific comfort of autumn, which you have been too busy to accept.

Then the omen turns and the season takes something: a habit, an hour, an illusion about your capacity.
