Through the looking glass

I'm working on checking #25 off my list and finally this spring feel like I can finally see the light at the end of this tunnel. Things came to a head last month when I had a big work event right around the same time as the end of one of my masters program classes. The annual work event had been in the planning stages for 5+ months, but my degree program has been in process for the past 3+ years. A blog post a few weeks ago detailed some of my frustrations.

But the work event was a success, and I met some fantastic people including several of this year's News21 fellows, one of whom is a photographer who took the photo above at dinner one night. The photo is the candle on our table reflecting through the frosted rings of the photographer's empty water glass--and I was reminded that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't always clear, or in focus, or always visible, but it's there, slowly but surely drawing us forward.

A shout-out to AJ Maclean (a 2010 News21 fellow from Syracuse University) for letting me use his photo on my little 'ol blog--check out his other work here!
