The sound of my favorite stout evacuating the growler and relocating to the pint glass. As I pour the delicious liquid, it slowly glides down the inside of the glass down and swirls into a yummy pool at the bottom, it slightly tints the glass with a dark chocolatey hue. Is the liquid excited to live out it's purpose? Which in my perspective is to satisfy my taste,... Does the liquid care? If everything is made of energy and has an awareness,... Is the liquid aware that it exists to please my taste buds?
How many people wonder if their favorite beer is living or not? Furthermore, if by some bizarre fact that it does actually LIVE, how many are contemplating if the beer is pleased with its life by satisfying my taste?
Wait a minute,... Let's look at this concept for a moment. Is my beer alive? What is beer? Beer is an alcoholic beverage that is made out of grains: wheat, barley and hops. Which are plants that are growing and living,.... I'm just sayin',... Follow me here!!!
Ok, so the plants (wheat, barley and hops) used to create beer, do they lose their essence when they transition from living plant into ingredients? Some part of their living time has to retained within them as they transition to the form that is used to create beer, which is what they currently are,... Right?
So, as a seed grows onto a plant and a plant grows into a blossom, fruit or vegetable,...so does a grain that grows into a beer. It is that LIVING part of that being's existence, that wants to achieve its purpose and to feel satisfied knowing as it is poured down my throat it's dancing with my taste buds, and in doing so has totally and completely lived a life, satisfied.
Shit! I better finish this beer,... I don't want to deny him of his life's purpose.
