## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

To forget is not to discard.  
It is to place a stone back in the river,  
so the current may carry it unseen,  
while the path clears for the one who walks.  

Forgetfulness is a vow of release.  
The pond endures because it lets go of yesterday’s ripples.  
The leaf survives because it surrenders last season’s sun.  

Endurance begins where clinging ends.  
To forget is to lighten the burden,  
so the vow itself may be carried further.  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*

## Key Marks
