Amor Fati
(love of fate)
The time is now past when accidents could befall me;
and what could now fall to my lot
which would not already be my own!
~ Nietzsche
from Thus Spake Zarathustra
...
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 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.
~ Khalil Gibran
