to the brink (free writing)

(4th May 2017)I have included this word in the title for a new piece of work edge/threshold/brink, I really like the way the word sounds, its definite k clicking at the end, the idea of looking ahead or down with anticipation or trepidation, the possibility of retreat, the unknowing of a new situation, the need for courage – which could be valiance (have I made that word up...) or honesty or both, thinking about the k, it is as if it is demanding a decision to be made, that teetering cannot last and an outcome backwards or forwards is inevitable, it is about transition from one state to another, being pushed, forced to the edge of something, yourself perhaps… what journey must one go on to reach this place brink, it denotes loss of control, a dishevelled air, a disorientation, bewilderment, a place just before infinity and beyond, Star Ship Enterprise and energising into unchartered outerspaces, 70s and 80s TV shows seem to feature quite a lot in my narrative writing, is it something about me wanting to return back... like brink back is a commanding word
