The edge
Artwork by Elizabeth Bass.
The edge lies before us.
What happens if we step across it?
Do we plummet to our deaths, or do we breakfall and recover?
Or, what if the edge is false?
What if the edge retreats?
What if every step toward the edge that you take, the edge takes two steps backward?
What if this edge is life, not death?
What if every step, forward and backward, is the inhalation and exhalation of the universe?
