Week of

The Razor’s Edge

The past is fiction, and the future is a dream, and we are just living on the edge of a razor blade. It is extraordinarily sharp, extraordinarily tentative and quivering. We try to establish ground, but the ground is not solid enough, because it is too sharp. We are quivering between that and this.

From “The Razor’s Edge,” in Orderly Chaos: The Mandala Principle, page 18.
