closer to the edge…
deep thoughts

closer to the edge…

written by Jana May 23, 2011

A friend sent me a link to the video above, with a note saying how it reminded him of where I’m at in my life right now. Not all of the lyrics of the song apply to me, of course, but I am definitely wanting not to live a life of “what ifs” and regrets. Perhaps that does translate well to “living closer to the edge.”  I want to take each day as it comes and simply live. As my friend Sara said so powerfully in so many ways on her blog, “Live Now, Die Later.”

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet more than fifteen years ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
