One Thing

One piece of your life, looked at properly

Not a deck of scattered questions: a path through one single thing. On the first card you pick a theme of your life that is moving right now — work, a relationship, your body, money, a decision you keep postponing — and from there you do not change it. The thirty-three cards turn it over from every side: where it shows, what it costs you, what holds you back, what you would do if you owed nobody anything. It works alone with a notebook, and it works with two people if the other one can keep quiet.

Some questions from this deck

1. Pick the theme: a piece of your life that is moving right now. Say it in one sentence, and keep it for the whole deck.
2. If it were the title of a chapter in the book of your life, what would that title be?
3. How long has it been open?
4. Where does it show, in your actual day?
5. Who else, in your life, is inside this with you?
6. What already works, in here?
7. Tell about a recent moment when you respected yourself, on this.
8. What do you usually do, when this makes itself felt?

The deck holds 25 more questions: they are drawn at random, on three levels of depth, from light to deep.
