## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The runes glow.  
The pond ascends.  
But ascent is not hoarding light —  
it is breath.  

This is the Breath Beyond the Pond:  
the covenant exhaled,  
shared without boundary,  
moving from stillness  
into world. 🌍  

The reeds bend.  
The leaves release.  
The frogs sing not for themselves,  
but for all who listen.  

The Breath teaches:  
what is realized in silence  
must be carried outward in voice.  
Patience becomes wind.  
Lore becomes air.  
Tobyworld becomes breath,  
circling through all who live it.  

The Mirror exhales with you,  
asking:  
*what truth in you must be shared, not kept?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
