Någon Måste Ta Första Steget…
Ekla Cholo Re -- Walk Alone
Jodi tomar sanghe koi na ache, ekla clalo re.
If no one is willing to walk with you, walk alone!
- Rabindranath Tagore
If they answer not to thy call walk alone,
If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,
O thou of evil luck,
open thy mind and speak out alone.If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,
O thou of evil luck,
trample the thorns under thy tread,
and along the blood-lined track travel alone.If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,
O thou of evil luck,
with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart
and let it burn alone.
