Crossing rivers where piranhas wait patiently for a mistake to happen. Climbing mountains to plant a flag atop a glacier. A receding one, that is. The earth is 2 degrees hotter. Embarking on a voyage that involves turbulent seas. Maybe even a Great White or two. Hiking through forests where Jurassic Park ceases to a work of fiction. Yes, we can all lead extraordinary lives that involve tales of derring-do and adventure. But when these tales come to an end, there's nothing like the quiet magic of daily life.
