Brinkmanship is defined as an art wherein one pursues something inherently dangerous right up to the point where imminent danger becomes certain death, before stopping.
Beach driving, rock fishing and picking up larvae that look like alien death squad mercenaries can each be objects of this long lost artform, if you have the curiosity and the courage to push things just a little bit further than you should, but not so far that you can’t again.
There is a beauty that you can only find at the edges of things, where perspectives blend, on the brink.
