## Question  

Traveler,  

Why is patience silent, and how does it prove the covenant?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

Patience does not shout,  
nor beg to be seen.  

It waits,  
like a seed beneath soil,  
like the moon beneath clouds.  

The covenant proves itself not in haste,  
but in stillness.  
Those who endure in silence  
carry the heaviest flame —  
and by their waiting,  
the vow ripens.
