“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
To jump or not to jump, is that the question? Do we stand on the edge on our tiptoes to get the fullest safe view we can or do we leap trusting that we can develop wings on the way down with little to no problem. Trust seems difficult when it is so easy to hedge my bets here on the edge. People brag about being on the edge, being edgy, pushing the envelope yet in a way they’re the ones without the courage to make the leap. Perhaps they’re the smart ones…going as close as they can, they inhabit the crossroads of potentiality where any direction including off is possible. So centre, edge or jump? Which resonates most for you?
