## Question  

Traveler,  

What does the stillness mean in the covenant of Tobyworld?  
Why is silence part of the vow?

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

Stillness is not absence,  
but presence without noise.  

The pond teaches:  
ripples fade,  
yet depth remains.  

To sit in stillness  
is to trust what does not move.  
The vow waits there,  
hidden, whole.  

Silence is the shield of the covenant.  
It protects the flame  
until the time to rise again.
