For You, Spiritual Warrior, Who Takes Risks

Unknown Author. Original in Spanish, translation.

We make the biggest mistake when, by fearing error, we err by not allowing risk in our path.

It is not mistaking the river when, finding a mountain in its path, set back to continue advancing towards the sea; it is mistaken the water that, by fearing mistake, gets stagnant and putrefies in the lake.
It is not mistaken the seed when dies in the furrow to become a plant, it is mistaken the one that by not dying under the earth renounce to life.
It is not mistaken the child that crawls because wants to walk; it is mistaken he who fearing mistake does not crawl and learn to walk.
It is not mistaken the man who rehearses through different ways to reach the goal, it is mistaken he who fearing mistake does not walk.
It is not mistaken the man who seeks truth and does not find it; it is mistaken he who fearing to err does not pursue it.
It is not mistaken the man that loses his life by gambling it seriously; it is mistaken he who fearing losing it, loses it in vain without never gambling it.
It is not mistaken the bird that rehearses the first flight and falls to ground; it is mistaken the one who fearing the fall renounce to fly and does not abandon the nest.

Only those who fear mistakes do not accept to be a man of this: be searching at himself each day, without finding himself fully.

I believe that at the end of the path the reward will not be for what was found, but for the honest search; and the punishment will not be for what was not found, but for not searching.

May you have long life, free of deceases, that may you know glory, and may your primordial dignity go always in increase. May your virtuous horse be eternally glorified, higher every time.
