Confession. I am enjoying the temperature and views from the infinity pool. I wrote about being mindful of the importance of staying at the edges that pool. I did not. I am also not sure I want to come back.

It has implications I realize. 

Sitting with it 

تجربتها من أجل الحجم

Méditer

So with that as my current truth I thought I would use this time mid air to take in the wisdom of the Edges’ contributors for inspiration, grounding, and perhaps salvation although to be honest I don’t think someone else can save you or that people need saving (for another time). Following are phrases and practices that resonate in this intentional pause as I move towards the deepest part of the pool where I am surrounded by infinite possibilities.

The interdependence found in community allows for each of us to rest when we need to. Amoretta Morris

It is on the edge between this reality and a future that is free from patriarchy and white supremacy that I feel hope. Ada WIlliams Prince 

He reminded me that I don't only have human relatives and ancestors rooting for me. Anna Cruz

I rediscovered that it really is the small things that matter - a squeeze of the hand, a hug, deep belly laughs, laying your head on a loved one’s shoulder. Marissa Tirona

I am learning to lighten my load by sharing it. Dr. Chera Reid 

So acute is my awareness that I now find myself yearning (and beginning) to leap toward something new, away from an edge and into a circle. Karina Lehrner

Deepest appreciation to the humans above who offered peeks into 
their soul’s edges as they navigate the intersections of work, life and play. 
Truly.
