Out on the edge of change, where things are going by really fast – that is where I often hang.
The edge makes me pay attention. I get less distracted there.
But besides that, it’s addicting, the adrenalin I guess, and other chemicals. I can feel them. I can pay close attention to the finest details when I am on the edge, because that is the purpose of a person out there – to beware. It’s for protection, but therein lie the most beautiful and delicate sensations. They are simply delightful to pay attention to.
So I guess life becomes wonderful and dangerous in the same moment, which I think of not so much as time but as space. Some people like to skydive or scuba dive, or ski fast, or heave themselves into the air. Not me – never. Not even go fast in a car and barely will I get on an airplane.
But give me that edge of change, where constant shifts are giving the appearance that there is no solidity, where sustainablitiy means adaptation, where I have to dance to discover the ground under my moving feet.
Ha!
It is the edge that cuts through the delusion of the everyday and makes it bright, real, and in our face. Keep cutting.
A bow to you
Ah, the cutting edge! I think I am beginning to see! This smile is to you. 🙂
