One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A ripple that runs along side you, as the oars dive and your precise but forceful movements drive forward your waking vessel. The most memorable was here in Tasmania, at the Walls of Jerusalem. Waking up very early to hike for water and watching the sun burst through clouds and the racing mist bubbling off the lake in those first warming rays.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am young and we all have something to learn.
I could teach you some basic Yoga, or just share the experience.
I could share some hiking, camping or outdoor activity.
I could teach you about some specific areas of philosophy.
