A Lovely Work of Art

Liz Horowitz wrote: "Lucille Harris painted this wonderful picture at Tassajara in the summer of 1970 and gave it to Mel.  It shows Suzuki Roshi, Mel Weitsman, and Alan Marlowe." 

They're on the way to the Zendo crossing the bridge over the small creek. Mel was jisha, personal attendant, and Alan was anja, room cleaner. She included the little statue at the entrance to the bridge.
