One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bicycle Tour from Thailand through Lao and Vietnam with my best buddy. Saw and felt more than I can possibly express here. The hardest physical/mental challenge of my life.

Vipassana course in the California Desert. The emerging of my present self.

Meeting and growing with my love. She is my mirror, my muse, my strength.
