Wyald NZ Posted February 12, 2017 Hi guys and girls, I'm Mike. My great great granddaddy made his way to NZ in circa 1860 from Florida, USA. Part negro, part Indian, Wyald at 6`6 kind of Stood out. Â Jacks Kerouacs Dharma Bums is one of my favorite books, how he and Gary Snyder took a journey that was not about being right. Socrates has been a great guide to get so far, but Gary's buddy Alan Watts has changed me. There is no going back. Â Great to find this place. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
