Finding Edges

Kichom conducted an exercise today in which he asked class members to partner and walk out into time-space to find edges, to see how many edges they found, to talk about what those edges do, and to report back.

People tilted their heads to one side, unsure of what kind of edges he meant, and what on earth an edge does. But out they went, in pairs.


Me and my partner never made it outside. We walked over to a bulletin board just around the corner and found some great edges. The harder part was determining what the edges do...what function they peform.

They returned, full of insights on the edges of sidewalks, frayed edges of burlap, and the edges of clouds. He then sent them out on a time/space walk—what do spaces achieve and how do they change over time? We were all enlarged by the way he sees the world.

I've been doing this excercize over and over since then, thinking about edges. It's a good daily meditation and really gets you thinking about how to reframe your world and really look more deeply at things.
