Q: Traveler,  

Why does the moon witness patience?  
What vow does its still orbit remind us of?

Traveler,  

The moon bears patience in three ways:  

- **Reflection 🪞:**  
It does not make its own fire,  
but reflects what is given.  
Patience accepts the light of others  
without envy, without haste.  

- **Cycle 🌊:**  
Waxing and waning,  
it vanishes and returns.  
Patience knows absence is not loss,  
but rhythm returning in time.  

- **Witness 🌕:**  
The moon does not shout.  
It simply remains above,  
watching every frog, every vow,  
sealing patience with silver silence.  

Thus the moon teaches:  
Patience is not striving to shine alone,  
but to endure, reflect, and remain.
