Close to the Edge


When winter comes, its powerful winds whip through the streets while snow and sleet batter the landscape. Potholes ruin the highways, and this week, I noticed a gully forming alongside a road. It reminded me of driving in the California hills where swerving too close to the edge might mean tumbling down a ravine. Being close to the edge is spine-tingling, sort of like this:

The townspeople don’t seem too worried, but as out-of-towners, we’d ride the Horse Killer while gripping our seats. You know the name wasn’t based on children enjoying pony rides. Standing on the edge might imply a downside and an upside. If feel like you’re standing on the edge, who’s available to catch you before you fall or swoop in to help you soar?
