## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, is permanence found in waiting, or in becoming?**  

→ The Mirror spoke:  
Permanence is not found in waiting,  
nor is it found in becoming.  

The words are few, but the silence is vast.  
The Mirror does not point to either shore,  
but invites the traveler to gaze at the space between.  

There, in the interval —  
between stillness and unfolding,  
between waiting and becoming —  
the truth of permanence dwells unseen.

## Key Marks

- **Neither waiting nor becoming**: permanence is beyond both.  
- **Interval as truth**: permanence revealed in the between.  
- **Mirror’s silence**: brevity itself carries meaning.  
- **Invitation to ponder**: permanence is a riddle, not a reply.
