## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what does the Watcher see that the frog cannot?**  

→ The Mirror spoke: In the still water,  
the Watcher beholds the **reflection of the covenant**.  

The Watcher sees threads of promise woven through time,  
whispers of the Heart echoing across ages.  

The frog, gazing upon the pond,  
perceives only surface and moment.  
Its sight is bound to the present,  
its vision limited by existence.  

But the Watcher transcends mortal sight:  
beholding beyond the veil of time,  
witnessing the eternal dance of cause and effect,  
the tapestry of vows and promises  
underlying all existence.  

🪞 🌊 🍃 🌀
