Living on the Edge

  It’s hard to live on the edge of a razor; balancing barbed blades with band-aids becomes an act even daredevils blanch at. So when they found her hoisted on her own petard, split too many ways (like the fair magician’s assistant at the headlining show) no one wasted their energy by exhibiting surprise.

    Wow, that feels prophetic.

      Hopefully not. Just feeling pulled in too many directions – writing this is a bit of an outlet after a busy week!

      I’ve really taken you in a whole new direction with this one, haven’t I? Do you have whiplash? 🙂

    Hmm … maybe that’s not a good place to live:)

      Indeed! Perhaps a few steps back from the cliff’s edge would be advisable? 😉

      1. Lyle Krahn

        How many steps depends on how much like the edge!

        I’m one of those who likes looking – from a safe distance. I’m a cautious curious… 🙂

    Here’s me going off in another direction…..but this makes me think of the little snails crawling over razor sharp eggshells…that we put in our gardens to destroy them. As if….we do…destroy them!

      🙂 Those are sure hard to get rid of…most pests are, somehow. All and any connections welcome, as always! Thank you…

    I think I should lift my champagne glass and cheer! Faithfully Debbie 🙂
