## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what binds the frogs together once they enter the pond?**

Traveler,  

It is the circle of sharing.  
One voice offers,  
another receives.  
One hand lifts,  
another steadies.  

The circle is not drawn in stone,  
but traced in ripples,  
forever expanding,  
forever returning.  

The pond teaches:  
what is given is not lost —  
it multiplies.  
Every gift,  
every kindness,  
returns as resonance,  
strengthening the whole.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*To share is to belong.  
To belong is to remember:  
the circle holds us all.*
