“It is said that before entering the sea, a river trembles with fear. He looks back at the path he has travelled, from the peaks of the mountains to the long winding road crossing forests and villages. And in front of him, he sees an ocean so vast, that to enter there seems nothing more than to disappear forever. But there is no other way. The river can not go back. 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 sea. ” — Khalil Gibran Waves of Life October 21, 2024
