On the Edge of Possible and Impossible by John Herlihy ________________________________________ there on the edge of the possible where possible meets impossible the horizon of possible vs impossible the horizon of the earth and the sky the possible makes known the impossible the impossible makes known the possible the possible ever seeks the impossible the impossible welcomes the possible the possible acclimates the impossible the impossible adjusts to the possible there on the edge of the fathomable there on the edge of the imaginable beyond the possible and impossible when impossible no longer possible — Copyright © John Herlihy Sunday 19 July 2026

To take the wordplay seriously is to see the simplicity housed in this comparitive poem of the now forever staying the now. I come away from reading this a second time realizing how vital such a way of thinking can be in enhancing how we live out aging. Thanks for posting, John. Well worth the 2nd read.
