One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

journeyed to india on something deeper than a whim. left our ashram one day to explore the himalayas. came across a waterfall.

climbed into
the belly of the cave
i will live as that sound

woke up to the world inside our world

continued the caving journey into the heart of ireland's wet caves. swam in an underground lake. sang into the sweet echoes.
