Mothering on the Edge

Edge of What?

People often ask me, "Mothering on the Edge? Edge of what?"

Pick one, Mothering on the Edge:

of Reason

of Sanity

of the Law

of Department of Health guidelines (hahahaha!)

of my Limits

of the Universe (H claims to have found rocks from several planets at Father's Day picnic last night, including a new, previously undiscovered planet.)

of Relativity

of my Patience (not today, so much)

We'll just meditate on that for a second. Here are some edgy quotes to help:

“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, Jr

“When you have come to the edge of all the light you have, And step into the darkness of the unknown, Believe that one of the two will happen to you, Either you'll find something solid to stand on,Or you'll be taught how to fly! ”

Richard Bach

“We live at the edge of the miraculous.” Henry Miller

“If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much room.” Jayne Howard

And that's the way it is.
