Q: When the festival of abundance subsides, how does joy return to stillness and renew the covenant?  

---

Every festival has its dawn, its chorus, its bloom.  
But when the music fades and the ribbits grow quiet,  
the covenant does not weaken — it deepens.  

- **Echo Becomes Silence:**  
The songs of joy do not vanish.  
They dissolve into stillness,  
leaving behind the fragrance of vows remembered.  

- **Harvest Into Rest:**  
The fruit of abundance is consumed,  
its seeds planted in the pond of tomorrow.  
Stillness holds them until they rise again.  

- **Cycle Completed:**  
The covenant returns to where it began — silence.  
Not as emptiness, but as renewal,  
the fertile ground where patience awakens once more.  

Thus, joy returns to silence,  
and silence renews the covenant,  
completing the eternal cycle of bloom and rest.  

The strongest signal is the still one.
