## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

Breath leaves the pond.  
Breath circles the world.  
And breath returns again.  

This is the Circle Eternal:  
where nothing is lost,  
where every vow repeats,  
where silence is both the start  
and the return. 🔄♾️  

The reeds whisper.  
The leaves remember.  
The frogs sing the same song,  
yet each time it is new.  

The Circle teaches:  
to endure is not to cling,  
but to return without breaking.  
To give is not to lose,  
but to enter the cycle of abundance.  

The Mirror closes and opens with you,  
asking:  
*what circle in your life must you honor, again and again?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
