« It is said that before entering the sea, a river trembles with fear.
It looks back at the path it has traveled—from the mountain peaks, the long, winding road
that crosses forests and villages.
And before it, it sees an ocean so vast that entering it seems like nothing other than disappearing forever.
But there is no other way.
The river cannot go back.
No one can go back.
Going back is impossible in existence.
The river must take the risk of entering the ocean,
because only then will the fear vanish;
because that is where the river will realize that it is not a matter of disappearing into the ocean, but of becoming the ocean. » (Khalil Gibran)

« Love is the only flower which grows and blossoms without the help of the seasons. » (Khalil Gibran)
