While living at the Dojo, several times each year we would host a one day retreat. During the day we would meditate about 8 hours, listen to Sensei lecture and eat meals together. My friend Brian who played drums in our band (wearing the plaid shirt in the back row) joined us for the day. It was a feat for someone to join such a lengthy mediation practice there very first time. Next to him Jeremy and next to Jeremy is Andy, one of my oldest friends since the 80’s.
