It was a golf shot comment by a friend whose shot was toward a tree and maybe the tree would block his next shot to the green. But it quickly occurred to me "On the Edge Of Maybe" is a perfect description of life itself. We currently are "On the Edge of Maybe" more than perhaps any time in history. Coronavirus, Global Warming, Election Interference, Economic Depression, Mental Depression, on and on. "On the Edge of Maybe" describes THE RISK that exists. It is there in our line of sight to the next minute, hour, day, weeks, months, years, millennium. The golf shot risk was smaller than minute, yet the description of "On the Edge of Maybe" was magnificent.

Why? A repost off of my famous or infamous quotes. it is who I am?
Kurt Heaton’s most famous quotes(ok, not famous but quotes nonetheless and even maybe a few more).
"You may beat me, but I am not beaten. I cannot be defeated or beaten by anything or anyone. I will never,ever give in or give up. Even in death I am not defeated". heaton
"High expectations are the bane of many sports fans. Often winning is not enough". heaton
"'We are what we think' if you reflect misery on the world, it will reflect back on you. So, reflect happiness not misery. Think good thoughts and they will be reflected back to you. A sort of Confucian view". heaton
"The world is made up of doers, do nothings and naysayers. The rarest are the doers. 'Never was so much owed to so few'(Churchill)". heaton

“One of the few people who can plan to shoot a very low round is Tiger Woods. I always asked my players, ‘What is your best score and did you plan to shoot that score?’ Without exception, no one ever planned to shoot their best score, it just happened. So I say to you, plan to hit a ‘good’ shot not a ‘great’ shot. A ‘good’ shot might turn into a ‘great’ shot, but trying to hit a ‘great’ shot can turn into really bad shot. Expect to play well, but don't expect to play ‘great’. Just let it happen and ‘stay in the moment’. ‘Think ahead to the next shot’ but ‘don't think ahead to what your final score might be’. And when all is said and done golf is really not a ‘good’ game, but a ‘great’ game.” heaton

Consume it all because there is thankfully an infinite list and room for it all. An infinite feast, consume it all, consume it all." heaton
"diets of the mind reign supreme. Consume an infinite list and room for it all. An infinite feast, consume it all, consume it all." heaton twitterized
