English term or phrase: there\'s no place to get to
Da tradução inglesa de um poema de Jalludin Rumi. Não tenho certeza se a tradução literal cai bem. Alguma outra sugestão?

"There are hundreds of ways
To kneel down and kiss the ground.
Keep walking, there's no place to get to.
Keep walking, there's no place to get to." - © Coleman Barks

"Há centenas de formas
De se ajoelhar e beijar o chão.
Continua a caminhar, não há lugar aonde chegar.
Continua a caminhar, não há lugar aonde chegar."
