walking the precipice

It is healthy to suggest balance, no lean to one side. This is a rational approach to the exploration of the self; experiencing a middle ground, the best of both worlds.

On a more personal note, should you choose to lean, risk slipping, sliding down the teeter end of the totter, you will be made stronger. You will learn to bend your knees, keep your balance; spend days awake, nights awake, until you may walk the precipice.

And think, what a great new world it will be, to see it on it's side

  1. Man I dig this piece! It's funny how a poetry piece can speak and open up a whole new world for one and yet not another. The beauty of closing our eyes and opening our hearts I guess.

  2. I did not realize that Dean had disappeared until you commented. He was here so recently...

    I ache again.

    I hope it is a temporary absence, or just a shifting of location.

    As for your words here, I find myself slipping. Trying to discover the strength in my knees. Thank you.
