One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have washed my hair in the middle of 4 cafes in a torrential downpour in the middle of Istanbul.I have danced with Sufis in Morocco, eaten ant egg soup in the east of Thailand, taken a camel into the Sahara desert, seen the huge rock heads on Mt. Nemrut in Turkey, bargained for cheap trinkets from the Bedouin in the Negev desert of Israel, sat on a roof in the mountains above the Black sea, shelling hazelnuts with village women, and scaled the steep steps to the top of temples in the Lost City of Angor.

Teach, Learn, Share

What i can share is that it is possible to live your dreams, that a person can have a good rich life with a minimum of material posessions and that the most precious gift is the opening of your heart to another human being.
