The wayfarer

The wayfarer,
perceiving the way to the truth,
was struck with astonishment.
It was thickly grown with weeds.
"Ha", he said,
"I see no one has passed here
in a long time".
Later he saw that each weed
was a singular knife.
"Well", he mumbled at last,
"Doubtlessly there are other roads"

Stephen Crane

I had an informal lesson with my students yesterday discussing how one brings about change in one's life. Ha! Not so easy. But it is very clear that if you keep doing the same things, the results will always be the same. Even miniscule changes in the right direction, changes the outcome. We ended up with big purple letters across the board,
 Never Give Up.
