A favored quote:
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 no other way.
The river can 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 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
Your thoughts on the times we are living in:
Thoughts? With physical distance most evident during the times of the pandemic, I also see the distance between our differences shrinking as people unite in solidarity across distinct causes.
