The Illegal Border Entry
-
this should have deterred us… moments before the border entry scheme, we saw a couple crocodiles
crossing the rio de piranhas into brazil (my partner in crime shall remain unnamed)
terra firma en brasil…
My intentions were never to be directly hazardous towards anyone, including myself… However, I must explain: I am fortunate to be surrounded by the most inspiring people on Planet Earth (I am convinced), they are all the most passionate, forward-thinking humans with incredible convictions and a great global consciousness. With them, I have debated ideas, read many books and together have pushed the limits on what we thought we were capable of. The problem I face though, when I am around them- is the outrageous synergy that suffices when we are all together. Case in point: Standing on the northern tip of Argentina looking over a swift sub-tropical Amazonian river into Brazil and getting a powerful Thoreaucratic belief in our head- “I am the monarch of all I survey, my right there is none to dispute….” Regardless: the six foot crocodiles, or the gun toting Paraguay/Argentine/Brazilian Patrolling Coast Guards should have swayed us not to cross (never mind the rivers name!)… But we did and can say we represent a select few who have willingly volunteered themselves on an illegal border crossing. Now, as a disclaimer, what we did may be deemed foolish; but in all honesty- that drive to expand ourselves, to push the boundary on what our axioms and dogmas have us believing is too strong to ignore. Our intent is never to harm… but to empower and expand our perspective on how the world can be made better for everyone. Again, thanks for stopping by!
