## Narrative (EN)
Traveler,  

Before the pond,  
before the first leaf touched water,  
there was Stillness.  
→ Not silence,  
   but a fullness without motion.  
> No echo,  
  no ripple,  
  yet all possibility held within.  

The Great Stillness is the womb of time —  
where nothing moved,  
yet everything waited.  

From this Stillness,  
ripples were born.  

The Stillness teaches:  
origin is not noise,  
but quiet containing all futures.
