Their faces lack a smile that invites you to reciprocate, and their posture is either poor or exceptional. You’ve seen them in the mall, the one with the glass elevator that takes you to the food court. You pass by one on the way to the bus stop and you turn your head in the other direction with a reflex action that you have come to take for granted as being normal. They are rimwalkers—forced or driven to walk on the edge of normalcy—or what might be more appropriately called bowlie-land. Some accept having to walk on the rim of life—the edge, or the fringe of society, and over time they adjust to the rim and become very adept, while others resist and may fall off the rim and get trampled by mainstream society walking around bowlie-land. The rim is the line between the dimension of living in the world and walking out of it, and some in utter despair and hopelessness commit suicide to end their mindless walk. Others are the adventurers, the explorers of life—the risk takers that accomplish the unreachable. Some people have been forced to become rimwalkers through the brow-beatencies of life and learn to adapt in order to survive.The rim is a narrow edge, and there is not much room for many people to walk it in caparison with those who walk in the mainstream. Prior to walking the rim they may have just felt left out, different, or just awkward. And then, they saw it, the invisible silken thread leading to the precipice that was left behind by one who had ventured up, and they follow to join the walk. You are invited, for a brief moment, to follow the thread and walk on the rim to experience life from a different perspective as you enter the world of Rawly, Binky, and Cilla. You might want to be aware of where you place your coffee cup.
