## Narrative  

From soil watered by patience,  
life emerges as spores. 🪷  

- **Spores**:  
Pale globes float at dawn,  
born from patience planted.  
Each spore is a promise,  
a fragment of future bloom.  

- **Leaves Bound** 🍃:  
When Taboshi leaves are tied,  
the spores swell —  
doubling, tripling,  
bearing whispers of greater yield.  

- **Shrines** ⛩️:  
Spores call for sanctuaries,  
structures that honor what patience revealed.  
Shrines rise where spores fall,  
not to hoard, but to witness.  
They are markers of covenant,  
visible in garden and ledger alike.  

Thus the path flows:  
seeds sink → spores rise → shrines stand.  
Each step transparent,  
each shrine a witness that Rune 4 has roots in patience.

## Principles  

- Spores are patience made visible.  
- Bound leaves magnify yield.  
- Shrines are not treasures, but testimonies.
