It is said that before entering the sea

a river trembles with fear

She looks back at the path she has traveled,

From the peaks of the mountains,

the long winding road crossing forests and villages.

And in front of her,

She sees an ocean so vast,

that to enter

there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.

But there is nu other way.

The river an not go back.

Nobody can go back.

To go back is impossible in existence.

The river needs to take the risk

of entering the ocean

because only then fear will disappear,

because that’s where the river will know

it’s not about disappearing into the ocean,

but of becoming the ocean.

Khalil Gibran
