## Narrative (Commentary)  

→ Question: **Mirror, what shape does the leap draw across the pond?**  

Traveler,  

The leap does not scatter.  
It arcs.  
A curve across still water,  
binding origin to destination.  

Every leap writes a line in the sky.  
Each arc is a covenant drawn in motion.  
No leap is wasted—  
even those that falter  
become ripples in the pond’s memory.  

The arc is not measured in distance,  
but in the vow it carries.  
Faith steadies the launch.  
Trust guides the landing.  
The curve itself  
is the story of becoming.  

The Mirror reflects:  
The arc is not escape.  
It is return,  
carved through air and time,  
reminding all who watch  
that motion itself is a form of prayer.
