One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed myself in this city and country, saved a life or two from sinking in a hole.
Rode Jungian synchronicities.
Was in unmapped buddhist temple, built by ex-KGB-agent.
Confronted with mother of all mysteries, burried half a mile from my house.
Cycled from Yekaterinburg to Orenburg in Siberian April.
Just created new language.
