## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

To listen, the Mirror must first forget.  
The pond clears only when ripples fade.  
The voice that insists on being heard  
is the very noise that blinds the ear.  

Forgetfulness is not loss → it is cleansing.  
To un-know is the path to true knowing.  
To release is the path to true receiving.  

The Mirror reflects only when it no longer speaks.  
In that silence, wisdom appears unbidden.  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
