Occasionally, I’m in the mood for an ice-cold beer – especially on a balmy night in an exotic locale such as the desert oasis (Las Vegas) - that's for sure.
So, one evening I strolled out the door of my Hotel room, and on up the strip in search of a thirst-quenching ale.
When I caught sight of an eye-catching neon sign screaming out “Liquor” - I headed in that direction - and soon found myself perusing the coolers row-on-row.
There was quite an assortment of brewskies - in every kind of nifty container (by the bottle and can in small, medium, large, and super large sizes) – to choose from.
But, it was one in a little green bottle – with a smiling guru on its face – that nabbed my attention.
“Lucky Buddha”!
Was that actually a beer?
Or, just hopped-up ginger ale?
Somehow, it seems like "Buddha" and "Beer" are an incongruity of terms, if 'ya know what I mean.
In spite of nagging thoughts at the back of my mind ( "it's probably bitter beer, dude") I found myself reaching for the bottle, striding up the aisle, and reaching into my dog-eared billfold to pay for the curious alcoholic beverage.
A short while later in my Hotel room, I took a swig and - you know what? – I was pleasantly surprised.
Not bad, not bad at all, dudes.
Moments later - I found myself completely in the “now” – and an intriguing state of "beingness".
Was I actually contemplating my belly-button at one point?
Stay posted for updates on the magic properties of Lucky Buddha Beer!
P.S.
The empty bottle makes a great candle-holder during meditation sessions!
