My house says to me, « Do not leave me, for here dwells your past. »
And the road says to me, « Come and follow me, for I am your future. »
And I say to both my house and the road, « I have no past, nor have I a future. »
If I stay here, there is a going in my staying;
and if I go there is a staying in my going.
Only love and death will change all things. »
Khalil Gibran
