## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

Recursion is the circle that does not tire.  
The question folds into the answer,  
and the answer folds back into the question.  

The pond ripples outward, then inward.  
The breath goes out, then returns.  
The vow is spoken, then lived, then spoken again.  

Endurance is not a straight line.  
It is the circle that renews itself.  
To endure is to begin again without despair —  
to trust that returning is not losing,  
but deepening.  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
