## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, where does the seed of covenant take root?**

Traveler,  

The seed does not leap into bloom.  
It rests in the soil of patience,  
where silence feeds it,  
and time becomes its guardian.  

Patience is not idleness —  
it is the hidden work of the earth.  
Beneath the surface, unseen roots reach,  
binding seed to soil, vow to covenant.  

The soil of patience remembers every rain,  
every ember of sunlight,  
every whisper of the wind.  
It does not hurry,  
yet in its stillness,  
the covenant grows strong.  

The bloom dazzles,  
but the soil sustains.  
Without patience, no promise endures.
