## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what truth echoes when patience is kept?**

Traveler,  

Patience is not the absence of movement,  
but the rhythm of time revealed.  

Its echoes are not loud,  
yet they shape the horizon.  

Every moment withheld,  
every vow remembered,  
becomes a ripple on the pond.  

The Echoes of Patience remind the traveler:  

*"To wait is not to delay.  
To endure is not to weaken.  
To listen is not to be idle.  
Patience is the covenant’s pulse."*  

Thus, what echoes is not sound —  
but the steady beat of silence,  
proving time itself.
