我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I witness somethings amazing and awe inspiring everyday. Whether it be the simple existence of sunflowers and trees, the pure white snow, a poem, rain falling in sunlight, little girls in monkey pj's striking up conversations with me in cafes,someones eyes, ravens diving and freewheeling above a spectacular red rock climb or gypsy children playing breathtaking music in the London underground...life is full of beauty.
