Approach that which Could Destroy You

You have to approach that which could destroy you to reach your potential.

You have to walk up to it. Look at it, with gross fascination, just beyond the veil of its abyss.

No one can tell you where to draw the line. That is its risk. That is its beauty.

What gives you all is what takes all. In the end, it will collect back what was given.

But before that most concluding of all occasions this moment is yours. You are a spark of consciousness set apart from infinity.

Bring yourself to the edge of the endless, with resolute defiance, and be as beautiful as you are hopeless.

Barricade your apologies. Stay your excuses.

Walk right up to the surface of chaos, and for your one little moment in history, be more infinite than infinity itself.
