Quotes from Erich:
"Being present, in my humble experience, is where peace is found, that self care is found. If you can stay present with what you're doing, you're going to minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week experience one of the greatest human virtues you can find."
"I couldn't imagine prior to that time in my life that Texaco, a US company, would come down, find these oil reserves, pull it up to the surface and refine it, next to a community, into their main water supply and leave the by-product and the refinement water in these pits, or next to the river, or where these people get their water from until you actually see it."
"The journey from not being able to touch your toes, to touching your toes, there in lies the richness, the fulfillment, that unbound consciousness, that's the experience."
