Transcript
Fear by Khalil Gibran It is 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 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 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.
So don't worry,
Things are unfolding perfectly for you.
Thank you.

Darshak, thank you so much for sharing that poem! I loved it!! Amazing how nature gives us so many gifts about life. Nature models ways for all beings as how to live a surrendering, trusting, and loving life full of gratitude for every experience. If we just slow down and observe.
