  By Dave Ursillo on Nov 21, 2011
  
  It’s called ‘the edge’ for a reason.
  
  Inch by dreaded inch, you push your land-locked hooves across the gravel and soot. Crushed stone in orange and deep red. More ancient than life itself, without a whisper of effort.

  By Dave Ursillo on May 31, 2011
  
  “…reading your words has inspired me to go after my own dreams.” ~Reader email from A.J. last week
