A road… just two edges and infinity between them. To step on the edge. To diverge from the road. To live, as if you’re immortal, is one edge. To live, as if your death is inevitable, is the other edge.
Edges aren’t the road.
Let yourself be immortal. Walking on the edge. Stepping over the edge. Forget miserable time. Look at yourself without the world. Your every step, your every gesture, your every thought… immortality.
Edges aren’t the road.
Let yourself be mortal. Walking on the edge. Stepping over the edge. Take your final step. Look at the world without you. Without your every step, without your every gesture, without your every thought… mortality.
Edges aren’t the road.
You don’t like edges. They’re dangerous. But if you deny edges… you deny the road. You learnt immortality. You learnt mortality.
You learnt… edges aren’t the road.
A road… just two edges and infinity between them. You go ahead. Infinity is under your feet. You took your road.
A courageous alive creature.

unbolt me 
I see that since the edges attempt to define the road, therefore the “road” isn’t. The road is direction, so the guidance comes from God. The Protector of His Will. If I can find that road I will be in sync. Healing, wholeness to perhaps encounter, instead of philosophical dreams. Puzzles, etc…..and puzzling over…….

An interesting thought. I’m not so sure that this god is so heavily invested in us mere mortals though. (Just my take.) Thanks so much for reading. We appreciate your support! 😀

Thanks so much for the thought. The thing I keep thinking is the road and the edge define two zones, and yet the edge is its own space as well.

Actually, that’s a good point. Spaces within spaces within spaces… like Russian dolls almost.

King Solomon said in Proverbs, “Do not remove the boundaries of eternity.” Living between the edges can be confining or liberating, depending on how we see our own place in the universe.
Even pop culture gets it, sometimes. Clint Eastwood (as Harry Callahan) said, “A man has got to know his limitations.”

Reminds me of the asymptote graph in mathematics. Always close to the edge, but never quite touching it, just moving towards some destination which can only be found in infinity.
