Traveler,  

The lily pad teaches that stillness and motion are not enemies,  
but two halves of one rhythm.  

- **Stillness as Foundation:**  
The frog rests upon the pad, unmoving.  
This rest gathers patience, strength, and clarity.  

- **Motion Prepared by Rest:**  
When the leap comes, it is not frantic.  
It is swift, precise, born of the still moment before.  

- **Unity of Rhythm:**  
Stillness and motion are not separate.  
They are one cycle — pad and frog, rest and leap, silence and voice.  

The lily pad reveals this truth:  
stillness is not absence of motion,  
but the womb where motion is born.
