Close to the Edge

 

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

What does it mean to move to the edge? Does it feel frightening?  How does it inspire?

Go beyond a physical edge in your thinking. Consider times you have pushed to the edge of ideas and thought patterns, the meaning of a friendship, a creative project. 

Where did you feel a glow, progress, and possibility?  How did conquering an unnerving situation result in personal growth?


"The mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where the dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little woods, the change of a snake or two, a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of - and paths threaded with those little flowers planted by the mind." - Katherine Mansfield


Find the fun and fascination by thinking on movements close to the edge.
