We made a circle and talked, each was given a new name, dined and slept inside the cave. From there it would be so cold bath, toilets rare, little comfort, but very challenging and learning. Almost always paddled endlessly until the doors of a community hidden in the mangroves or the arms of a river, in the woods or on top of a hill.

A vulnerable present marked by something difficult to name. I took Go's I took this encircling strategy not to control, but to explore, observe, experience and be challenged by the city. by: asfalttango Views[1063]
