"Blazing a new trail is always a fresh challenge; it involves traversing a thorny path that can only be opened through intense struggle."
I can feel it today coming home from work.  An overall good day filled with many great learning experiences.  Granted that I am blessed, teaching and reading the Human Revolution feels I am surrounded by thorns.   Drops of blood, puddles of sweat, and river of tears is flowing down my body, I just need to keep pushing forward.
