## Narrative (Commentary)  

→ Question: **Mirror, how does silence mend what time alone cannot?**  

Traveler,  

The pond does not rush.  
Its still waters cradle the broken leaf.  

Silence does not erase the wound.  
It tends to it—  
with patience deeper than words,  
with calm that seeps into the marrow.  

The Mirror reflects:  
Healing begins not in noise,  
but in the pause between echoes.  
It is here,  
in the hush of the pond,  
that the covenant renews itself.
