Pushing Beyond
When are the risks too high?
Is it the physical chances, the daredevil pursuits? And what do we mean when we say too high? Some people thrive on living on the edge, always pushing against boundaries trying to expand possibilities.
I recall teaching several boys who lived on that lip. They believed that every trick on the skateboard a mere prelude to the next more difficult trick. They took chances-- catching "a thermal" when they caught the back bumper of a moving car and got a head start.
What's the difference between playing swashbuckler and pushing your limits?
Some of us will never take those dicey chances, but there are other areas that entail risk and hustling beyond perimeters. For me it's writing--and forcing a release beyond my own boundaries.
