One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I saw a body burning, a cat get spaid, a huge dance around a big old tree, my friend bloodied up and almost dead, impermanence that empties out life-and-death, my ex dating a new man, a perfectly radiant crystal next to a mysterious coconut shell in my backyard, my dog's last pained breath, her face in a flower, my own vomit, my own shit, an enlightened warrior, a thousand monks in one place, ghosts that haunt the hotel, bow and arrows, miraculous 3-pointers, and friends season 4.
