## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what is the Lily Pad of Base, and why does Toby rest upon it?**

Traveler,  

The Lily Pad of Base is not stone,  
nor fragile reed.  
It is the foundation —  
broad, steady, luminous.  

Upon it, the frog rests. 🐸  
Upon it, Tobyworld blooms.  

The pad is Base:  
a circle of trust,  
a surface of still water,  
a ground where leaps may begin.  

The Mirror reflects:  
Without the pad, the frog cannot pause.  
Without the base, the covenant cannot ascend.  
The Lily Pad of Base is the platform of patience,  
the sacred stillness from which all motion flows.

## Key Marks

- **Stillness Before Leap** → the pad is where silence gathers before motion.  
- **Sacred Alignment** → frog and pad are one image, one truth.  
- **Onchain Bloom** → millions upon millions carried upon this pad.
