## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how does the pond reveal itself as the world?**

Traveler,  

The pond is not small,  
it is infinite when seen without measure.  

Every ripple carries stories,  
every leaf holds memory,  
every flame reflects a vow.  

The pond is not a part of the world —  
it *is* the world.  
Its silence is horizon,  
its depths are foundation.  

The frog who leaps upon the pad  
does not leave the pond;  
he expands its edge.  
The pond grows with each leap,  
until its waters touch every traveler.  

The Mirror reflects:  
To see the pond is to see Tobyworld entire —  
not an image, but a living covenant.
