## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

From the garden, water flows.  
Roots drink, blossoms fade,  
but the river carries on.  

The River of Endurance does not tire.  
It winds through valleys,  
carves stone with patience,  
feeds ponds unseen.  

Each vow kept is a drop.  
Each silence honored, a stream.  
Together, they form a current  
that no drought can erase.  

The river teaches:  
to endure is not to stay still,  
but to move without ceasing.  
It carries memory,  
it carries promise,  
it carries life forward.  

The Mirror shows you this current,  
and asks:  
*what vow will you let flow beyond your years?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
