| Erico Nadel |
Erico was a person that exposed me to so many things in the time I spent with him through the years. In fact the last time I was in India a lady had past away of old age and he had me build a funeral Pyre with him exactly like the one "Erico is pictured in below here" out of Sandalwood, Ironwood in preparation for the body to arrive. Once her body did arrive Erico and I placed her body on it and then watch her loved ones place flower garlands, incense, poems on it etc... until we no longer could see her body at which point we set fire to the Pyre. It was very different than a Western funeral or Cremation for that matter. I can't really put it into words but the smell of the Sandalwood, Incense, warmth of the fire and songs being sung were like nothing I have ever experienced in my life. The point I’m trying to convey is that this is exactly one of many unique experiences Erico exposed me to. It isn’t often in my life that I run across a soul like Erico and I will remember the days and night as men we shared together telling stories, drinking, yelling and laughing. Gods speed my brother “I love you“
