"It's said that before entering the sea,
a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has travelled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding roads 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 no other way.
The river cannot 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 will fear disappear,
because that's where the river will know,
it's not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean."
~ Kahlil Gibran
