“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
Michael Jordan
Real obstacles don't take you in circles. They can be overcome. Invented ones are like a maze.

Au bon endroit au bon moment. Il fallait que je sois très réactif pour prendre cette photo. Cette minuscule limace se déplaçait plus vite qu'on le pense. Juste le temps d'ajuster la netteté.
Right place at the right time. I had to be very quick to take this picture. This tiny slug was moving faster than you think. Just enough time to adjust the sharpness.
“Many times we are our worst enemy. If we could learn to conquer ourselves, then we will have a much easier time overcoming the obstacles that are in front of us.”

Another casualty from the February storms making the walk to the Tiger Clough waterfall difficult.
There are plenty of difficult obstacles
in your path. Don't allow yourself to
become one of them.
Ralph Marston
The Thurisaz rune (ᚦ) represents the ability to confront obstacles, the strength to endure adversity, and the protection of mighty forces. Like the thorn it symbolizes, this rune reminds you that true strength lies not just in attack, but in defense and resilience. It suggests that you have the inner fortitude to face any challenge that stands in your way, urging you to stand firm and embrace your power.
Thurisaz is a rune of both conflict and transformation, showing that through struggle, growth is achieved. It calls on you to harness your inner strength wisely, channeling your energy to break through barriers and drive positive change. More than just a force of destruction, Thurisaz is a guardian—its presence in your path signifies that you are not alone, as unseen forces shield and guide you. Whether in battle, personal trials, or major life transitions, this rune is a reminder that your resilience is your greatest weapon, and through perseverance, victory is within reach.
"Thurisaz is the force that breaks and the strength that endures—embrace the storm, for it forges the warrior within."
BNSF vehicle train V TACLPC1 24F punches through the solid basalt hole known as Drano Tunnel (Tunnel #2) near Cook, WA, in the Columbia River Gorge. Drano Tunnel is the first of five tunnels the train will pass thorugh in the next 3 miles as it and parallel Washington Route 14 navigate the narrow confines of land crammed between the northern bank of the Columbia River and numerous rock formations, lakes, and steep slopes. CREX 1206 is working rear-end DPU duty, shoving hard to get the autoracks rolling at track speed after holding for Amtrak on the fast-paced and heavily utilized Fallbridge Subdivision.
This small gator was in my path on a walk, I thought maybe a bad idea to walk past it. Better to take a photo and leave instead. It was small, but I didn't like the way it was looking at me!
It is a long time since I have been able to visit this wood. So lovely to see the greenery. This path has a tree trunk across. It is a path often used by horses. I expect the riders love it.

A typical Scottish Highland scene, with the natural granite rocks helping to direct and slow the flow of the water course as it races towards the sea.
Sometimes my excessive zeal would lead me astray.

One of the hundreds of shipping hazards found of the Cornish coast, making it one of the most dangerous places in the UK for ship navigation. This one sits just off Trevose Head on the northern coastline of the county.
You feel so small, lifeless and overwhelmed and you’re working hard to push through the painful obstacles you face, take time to rest and keep looking for light.
In the morning light, so crisp and clear,
Stands an overcomer, without any fear.
With arms stretched wide to embrace the day,
A smile breaks through, like the sun's first ray.
Leafhopper (family Cicadellidae)
The first of this species I have seen this year. About 3 mm in length.
[T]he soul of every person, no matter when he lived or what degree of holiness he acquired, whether he attained to the very heights of perfection or whether he was but entering upon the road of righteousness, whether an adult or an infant is united with God through grace, and entertains the Holy Spirit as his Guest. True, this union can be more or less perfect, it can admit of degrees which vary ad infinitum, but the mystical union is everywhere and always essentially the same.
-Barthelemy Froget, The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Souls of the Just According to the Teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas (New York: Paulist Press, 1921), 118.
