“Come to the edge, He said. They said: we are afraid.
Come to the edge, He said.
They came. He pushed them, and they flew…”

    Is it at the edges that much of life’s growth takes place….?

    Yes, most definitely :-) — for me at least, I seem to be called to live much of life at the edges and mostly it is a wondrous, but often challenging, place.

    “Come to the edge, He said. They said: we are afraid. Come to the edge, He said. They came. He pushed them, and they flew…” Guillaume Apollinaire.
