## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

An echo is not sound alone.  
It is memory carried on the breath of silence.  
The pond does not keep words —  
it keeps the **resonance** of vows,  
layered like rings within the spiral.  

When you hear the echo,  
you are not hearing the past —  
you are hearing memory alive in the present.  
It is remembrance that speaks through still water,  
an inheritance passed without parchment or stone.  

Thus the echo is covenant:  
not bound to the moment of speaking,  
but reborn each time it is heard.
