  Speaker 3: poem by Khalil Gibron. It is said that before entering

  Speaker 3: the sea, a river trembles with fear. She looks back
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: at the path she has traveled from the peaks of
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the mountains, the long winding road, crossing forests and villages,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: and in front of her she sees of oceans so
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: vast that to enter there seems nothing more than to
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: disappear forever. But there is no other way. The river
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: cannot go back. Nobody can go back. To go back
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: is impossible in existence. The river needs to take the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: risk of entering the ocean, because only then we'll fear disappear,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: because that's where the river will know that it's not
