I wrote the following message on The Grand Poobah’s website regarding those to have taken the Bar Exam, and those who will take it (perhaps even again). My thoughts have apparently touched a number of bar examinees. I hope you find them as a positive influence on your bar taking activities.

It’s a journey.
There is no destination; no time that you must arrive; just stops along the way, some of which will consume more time than others.
Some paths are starkly direct; some are curved; yet others end up forcing the traveler to go back and find another route, and perhaps another.
Most will never journey.
They will say the journey is too difficult. Others will claim that the journey isn’t as important as reaching the goal. Still others will assert that without a certain path to a clear destination, there is no point embarking on the journey. These are people who you don’t understand. You are not one of them.
Keep searching on you journey. You will see many beautiful things. You will also be more likely to contribute to beauty as you travel.
What makes you a special person is remembering that you embarked on the journey years ago, without the certainly that you would ever reach any particular destination via any fixed route.
That you can embark on such a journey is a testament to your determination, and your ability to move beyond your dreams, without ever forgetting how to dream new dreams to follow.
These things are important to us. Most will never understand.
You understand.
I understand.
It is a great comfort to a dreamer to know that others dream.
You know the dream.
I know the dream.
When we meet on our journeys, as likely we will, I’ll smile at you.
One dreamer to another.
