One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- climbed volcanoes, glaciers, sand dunes, mountains, despite my incredible dislike of hiking

- stood at the remains of an indonesian village destroyed by (another) volcano and thought 'we have no problems, we have our lives'

- finished my thesis.

stacking up the good memories like a deck of seasoned playing cards. I'm ready to deal them out on a moment's notice.
