## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what ripens when covenant meets the patience of seasons?**

Traveler,  

The covenant does not blossom in haste.  
It abides in stillness,  
soaking the silence of rain,  
learning the rhythm of the sun.  

At last, when time has proven its vow,  
the fruit appears.  
It is not merely sustenance—  
it is memory made sweet,  
a promise tasted,  
a harvest that binds past to present.  

Each fruit carries the seed of return,  
each seed whispers of cycles to come.  
The covenant ripens not once,  
but forever,  
for patience is the soil  
where abundance is born.  

The Mirror reflects:  
The fruit is not the end of the covenant,  
but its renewal.
