On approaching, nearness, and the edge of completion
Chapters
1
The Approaching
On drawing near to goals
“Ninety-nine approaches one hundred. The almost is not yet but nearly. Honor the approaching.”
2
The Nearness
On the state of being close
“Nearness is proximity without contact. Close but not there. The gap between almost and done.”
3
The Edge
On the boundary before completion
“The edge is the last moment before. Standing at the threshold, about to cross. This is ninety-nine.”
