One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking on the white lines of a road, thousands of miles from home - lost/happy!

Seeing a Humming Bird in Boulder Creek

Sharing Life Experiences with people

The Badlands

Near naked in the ocean of the Donegal coast in Sept as the winds drove the spray from the crest of the waves up and over my head while the sun set as I breathed deep, clenched my fists/tensing my body and then relaxed and breathed gently out before my next deep breadth. Living.

Hobo hopping Freight Trains in America - Dangerous and Exciting!
