## Question  

Traveler,  

What does the first ripple mean for all who came after?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The pond was still until one ripple moved it.  
Not thunder, not fire — only a small motion,  
yet eternity leaned in.  

The first ripple is proof that silence can break,  
and beginnings can echo forever.  

Do not despise the small start.  
Every vow begins in quiet.
