Name the scene
First name not fate, but the living situation: where I am, what pulls, what asks for attention.
branch, shears, sap
Pruning choice
When too many branches are taking food from the main trunk.
When it fits
- ✦ opportunities became clutter
- ✦ a project has grown wild
- ✦ you need a clean no
Not for this
- ✧ replacing facts, medical, legal, or financial advice
- ✧ compulsively repeating the same question
- ✧ reading someone else's life without boundaries
Key images
Pruning shears: removal can serve growth.
Sap: energy goes where the cut allows.
Main trunk: protect the central promise.
