So Eric's Dad, Niel Fishback, invited me up to come visit and check out Sequoia National Park. As life would have it, Niel was Maezumi Roshi's Dentist, and good friend. Niel had also lived in residence at ZCLA for three years before moving up to Three Rivers, at the base of Sequoia National Park. Niel is one of the more naturally and genuinely generous people you could ever hope to meet. Nothing could seem to make him happier than sitting down with you, cracking a beer, and hearing about your day in the park.
Up top is a picture of a mandala Roshi did for Niel, prominently displayed in his sitting room, and a shot of Niel and his friend Thomas out on the porch. (Niel wanted to make sure I got the roses in the picture) Thomas by the way is working on a project to set up non for profit breweries in South East Asia called Robin hood with all of the profits going towards clean water plants in disaster areas. We sat and spoke of the similarities and differences between the Tsunami and Katrina Victims. I think Thomas is really onto something and look forward to seeing his plans come through (and tasting some of his beer, he's got quite a rep as a brewer)
