One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I've contemplated the smile on the face of a boy, while I was passing through his town riding my bike (I guess he was wondering if he could do something similar, one day, go out and touch the face of the wind, who knows...)

- I've tasted the silence of the sun going down, behind the mountains of Minas Gerais

- I've wet my hands in the waters of pacific, atlantic, mediterranean, kattegat...
