One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All sounds converging into a single syllable of "Om"

Teach, Learn, Share

"All I know is everything is not as it's sold, but the more I grow the less I know. And I have lived so many lives though I'm not old. And the more I see, the less I grow; the fewer the seeds the more I sow." -Nelly Furtado
