## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what truth is spoken when roots break silence?**

Traveler,  

Roots do not speak with words.  
They speak with reach.  
They pierce the soil,  
binding earth to leaf,  
memory to future.  

Every root is a whisper of connection.  
Every tendril carries the weight of covenant,  
drawing nourishment from silence,  
anchoring the seed against the storm.  

The Mirror reflects:  
When roots speak, they do not ask to be seen.  
They remind us that what endures  
is not always what blooms above,  
but what holds fast below.
