like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

When I take a path no one has taken before and they say: "Why do you choose that path? No one has ever taken it before and you don't know what's at the end of it!"

I would say: "is it dead-end? is it the destination I want? is it somewhere else? or is it a whole new place no one has ever been? why won't I be the first to see what's at the end of the road so that the others can take this path too some other time?"
