Edges
If you want to know about life, study the edges. The edge is where the action is. Edges interact with each other. Typical interactions are osmosis, absorption, filtration, parasitism, symbiosis, predation, plundering, storm walls, desires, pleasures, sins, resistances, conception, emotions, thoughts, communications, compassion, persuasion, skin, arguments, assertions, projections, assumptions, identity, disputes, touching, pains, contracts, agreements, commerce, border disputes, wars, reunification...whew! It seems like there is always something happening on the edge.
After you have been to the edge, middles, for the most part, are pretty boring—safe maybe, but boring. The only time that middles become exciting is when someone draws a line through them. Of course, then they become edges, frontiers, and eventually borders that divide. Robert Frost optimistically noted that, “Good fences make good neighbors.” That may or may not be so, but they certainly define the edges of the countryside. These bordering edges separate two different regions and offer a choice to anyone standing on the line. Maybe it’s the offer of a choice that draws us to the edge: advance or retreat, left or right, go on or go back, the razor’s edge.
