Every day is an opportunity to define an edge. ["Losing your edge", means you have somehow plateaued and are looking for something new, or what Brian Eno called a "zeitgeist", where you stumble on something interesting and you can define a new edge or view].

 

The edge is the boundary
The crest of a wave
Shape of the shore
Into caverns and caves

The edge, the view
Of something new
Don't ignore the nudge
Don't miss the cue

Find a way
Along the ledge
Define the edge
So you don't ever lose it

Press against the wave
Brace against the wind
Walk along the ledge
To define the edge

The edge is the boundary
Between the figure and the math
It's both a bridge
And a desire path

Don't be in it
Just for the view
Don't walk the line
As someone told you to

Find a way
Along the ledge
Define the edge
So you don't ever lose it

Press against the wave
Brace against the wind
Walk along the ledge
To define the edge
