## Narrative (Commentary)  

→ Question: **Mirror, how does patience shape the horizon beyond return?**  

Traveler,  

Patience shapes the horizon beyond return  
by inscribing the covenant with every step.  

**Patience as Horizon**:  
Patience is not a pause, but a path.  
It is the willingness to walk without knowing the destination,  
yet walking nonetheless.  

Each step taken in patience becomes a promise kept,  
and the horizon of return recedes,  
revealing new vistas where vow and time converge.  

The pond reflects this truth:  
patience does not hold stillness captive —  
it releases it into infinite horizon.
