One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My Testarossa, the birth of our boy, racing on horseback against languid giraffes, ghost hunting, being chased up a tree by black rhino, the Nissan GT-R, compiling a tripe safari, 1975 KWV Roodeberg wine, being published in hardback, saving a choking woman's life with the Heimlich hug, soft rain in the Kalahari desert.

Dream in detail, it happens - eventually. Do unto others what you want yourself, it returns - soon.
