When beer is made it is the combining of water, grains, sugars, flowers and yeast, with just the right mixture one gets a soothing refreshing experience ……similarly life is made of water, seeds, sweets, pretty things and organisms, and it too in the right measure can bring on a soothing experience.
So let’s compare the two.
Mix together all the ingredients, let mingle and wait long enough for the elements to form together new allegiances and positions where they find themselves to be most comfortable and you will have a lesson on life or a recipe for Beer.
In the middle you get the vibrant active sought after desirable thing to be, the useless or sediment sinks to the bottom and the empty bubbly excrement, the head, created from useful activity rises to the top. Some would consider this that the scum rises to the top, and that is partly true but what it is in fact is a needed byproduct to excite the beers flavor and can easily be eliminated with a gust of wind.
Pretty much like civilization itself, the effervescent concoction dancing around on top, hampering you from realizing the joy and pleasures of the desired elixir, can be judged as too thick or too gassy, or just in the way to enjoy the real substance we call life, can fortunately be discarded with a change in the wind.
I’m off to enjoy a cold one and contemplate the wisdom of BEER.
