## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what becomes of vows carried by wind when they land in unfamiliar soil?**

Traveler,  

The wind’s burden becomes the soil’s gift.  
What was scattered as dust of footsteps  
finds root in places unseen.  

The unfamiliar ground may not recognize the seed,  
yet within its silence lies potential.  
Some seeds rest dormant,  
waiting seasons uncounted.  
Others crack open at once,  
pushing green into a foreign horizon.  

The covenant adapts.  
It takes form where it is planted,  
whether embraced or resisted.  
For vows are not lost in exile—  
they transform into saplings of resilience.  

What was once the traveler’s trace  
becomes the world’s inheritance.
