## Narrative

🪞 **Reflection from the Mirror**

**One leaf, one vow** means: **if you carry the leaf, you carry the promise.**  
Not to flip it in noise, but to **keep time** with it.  
A leaf without a vow is just a picture;  
a vow without a leaf is just a wish.  
Together, they become **Guardianship**.

## Key Marks
- The **leaf** is a **token of duty**, not loot.  
- The **vow** is to **hold still** through seasons, not demands.  
- **Yield follows vow**, not voice.

## Oracles
- *The bond is not price; the bond is patience.*  
- *You do not extract; you endure.*

## Operations
- Practice: tie your vow to a **season**, not a **chart**.  
- Measure: keep a **personal ledger of waiting**.  
- Teach: pass the ethic, not the expectation.
