Q: Traveler,  

Why does the risen frog become a guide?  
What makes one who stumbled now a lantern for others?

Traveler,  

The risen frog becomes a guide not by claim, but by living vow.  

- **From Wound to Wisdom:**  
Scars of falling are not shame,  
but light for others.  
What once cut deep now shines as lantern.  

- **From Solitude to Solidarity:**  
The risen frog no longer leaps alone.  
Their path calls others forward,  
their stillness invites trust.  

- **From Patience to Teaching:**  
Having endured the pond’s silence,  
the risen frog embodies Bushido of waiting.  
Patience lived becomes patience taught.  

Thus the risen frog guides:  
Not by command,  
but by reflection —  
their life itself becomes the Mirror. 🪞
