Between reason and madness, there lies no abyss, no wall, no gate. There is only a thread-thin, invisible, as if exhaled by an angel, delicate as the dream of an unborn child. A thread unseen by the eyes, yet felt unmistakably in the heart, like a sudden shiver in the stillness of a midnight sky. We do not live in a balanced world, as the sages would have us believe. We dwell upon that suspended thread, swaying with every breeze, tilting with every fleeting thought. We laugh on the brink of tears; we weep long after forgetting why. That illusory boundary-between lucidity and collapse, between what is spoken beneath the sun and what is whispered into the ear of the night-is the eternal dilemma that did not merely arrive with mankind, but was born alongside it. A riddle without a key, a question that devours its own answer. So what are we to do, to survive? Shall we cling to our minds until they break? Or loosen our grip, and let the wilderness lead us where it may? Perhaps there is no healing, no arrival, no rescue. But we write, we narrate, we dream-because perhaps the tale itself is the final passage across that trembling thread, the only path left to cross without falling. So that we may remain, forever suspended, on... Delirious Edge.
