prayer from the cell: tradition

When you decide to follow your own path, the one that you feel is assigned to you, the one that is laid out before you, the one you are compelled to walk, you must not only face your present resistances and future fears, but you must pull away from thousands of years of history, opinion and tradition. You will not be popular. But you will be more alive than all that opposes you.

It’s been done before. You can do it. Because you must. And you know it!
