Tien van Staven
Too much of a good fire. Responsibility, overcommitment, the harvest that has to be carried. Set something down before the town, not after you collapse in it.
- ELEMENT
- vuur
- GETAL
- Ten — completion: bent under ten staves, heat become load.
- TEKENS
- a figure bowed under a bundle of ten staves, face toward a near town · the bundle so high it hides the road, success as obstruction · a house and field ahead, the burden is going somewhere, not nowhere · heavy step, the last mile of a yes that multiplied
RECHTOP
- +the dignity of finishing a heavy job
- +knowing you can carry more than you like
- +a destination still in sight
- −identity as the one who never drops a stave
- −refusing help as virtue
- −arriving bitter at a door you chose
- IN DE LIEFDE
- The bond has become logistics. Share the bundle. Love is not proved by how bent you can walk.
- IN HET WERK
- Overload, the promotion that was ten jobs. Delegate, drop, or the town will get a husk.
- IN HET ZELF
- Completion in wands is not a wreath; it is a pack. You may set it down without failing the fire.
OMGEKEERD
The bundle is being rearranged — a chance to drop staves — or it has become so interior you will not admit you are bent.
- Geblokkeerd — de rechtopstaande stroom bestaat en is gestuwd.
- Verinnerlijkt — het drama is innerlijk, niet wereldlijk.
- Overmaat — de stroom is overdreven.
Blocked Ten of Wands cannot even pick up the work. Inner Ten hides the load. Excess Ten adds an eleventh stave to feel needed.

WAT WE OVER DEZE PLAAT NIET ZULLEN ZEGGEN
- you brought this on yourself
- work harder, you're almost there
- never put down what you started
