"I´m just so sick of this concrete jungle," exclaimed Over Augusto. We had been sitting on the church steps in front of the plaza for over an hour talking about faith, life, experiences . . . .
"There are so many panthers, tigers & lions out there. I´m just so sick of this place."
"Look around you, all the panthers are those thieves that are staring you down as you sit here. The tigers are the addictions this city has to offer: drugs, sex, women, alcohol, materials, power. The lions are those people who just want to kill you. I´m just so sick of this concrete jungle!"
Such deep perspective from that frail Colombian boy that crouched beside me on those penitent steps. I hope to see you soon Over Agusto, next Saturday we will see.
