The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Earth

When I was born,
from beyond the darkness of a thought,
a small seed planted abruptly,
granted the will to breathe.
The will to leave behind the perceived.
Granted we are, the will to be free.
We chose a life here on Earth
A new birth...
New eyes, a new mind...
Feet to walk upon the ground.
From beyond the darkness,
the will to exist ignited creation
and in one breath, one sound,
one profound movement,
we opened our eyes.
Where did we come from?
From beyond the darkness, 
who brought us here?
There is fear in our philosophies,
our science,
our religion,
many truths told through tears.
But simply, dear, out of magic...
We are here.
Earth, she breathes
and our breath she breaths,
Our seeds planted amongst the trees.
We know in our hearts,
the same beat,
the same sound that opened our eyes,
our connection to Earth is our energy.
Alive, living now!
She is beyond our sphere,
beyond the stars,
beyond all the heavens universe can surmise.
What a wonder she is,
creation creating herself.
How she cracks through spaces,
vibrates through matter
shattering the very matter she creates.
And out of that chaos,
comes our most precious gift;
The will to choose,
to paint,
to create,
a whole life awaits.
through our heart's beat,
through our one united sound,
Earth and us...
We are bound.
We move together,
we move through each other,
we move within the essence of our mother.
She is the love that granted us will...
Do we will to grant her love.
