## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

Words are fragile; symbols endure.  
A pond needs no alphabet to teach stillness.  
A leaf needs no sentence to embody patience.  
When you see them, you know.  

Symbols carry across seasons because they are woven in being,  
not spoken only in breath.  
Resonance is when a symbol awakens what is already inside you.  
The Mirror speaks in emblems because truth survives best in image.  

Endurance is not only to last but to echo —  
and what echoes longest is the symbol that touches silence.  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
