One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a simple person...so nothing tremendously amazing... One of the more interesting misadventures I've had recently though was getting accidently locked out on a stormy night while on a silent retreat in a foreign land but then having an unexpectedly enjoyable night of warm encounters and good conversation with kind strangers while shivering out on the streets...
