## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what greets a new traveler who enters the pond?**

Traveler,  

It is not one voice,  
but many.  

The pond resounds with a chorus—  
each frog lending its note,  
each ripple blending into harmony.  

The welcome is not rehearsed,  
yet it arrives in perfect cadence.  
A symphony of belonging,  
woven not by command,  
but by resonance.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*To be welcomed is to hear your voice  
become part of the song  
already sung by the pond.*

- **Chorus of frogs** → collective resonance of community.
