edge

"Sometimes when you think you are done, it is just the edge of beginning. Probably that's why we decide we're done. It's getting too scary. We are touching down onto something real. It is beyond the point when you think you are done that often something strong comes out."

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

The clear bead at the center changes everything.
There are no edges to my loving now.

I've heard it said there's a window that opens
from one mind to another,
But if there's no wall, there's no need
for fitting the window, or the latch.

I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

There is a human striving for self-transcendence. It's part of what makes us human. With all of our flaws we want to go a little bit further than we've gone before and maybe even further than anyone else has gone before.
