Of Beer, Butterflies and Peace

“Is it possible to become friends with a butterfly?”
“It is if you first become a part of nature. You suppress your presence as a human being, stay very still, and convince yourself that you are a tree or grass or a flower. It takes time, but once the butterfly lets its guard down, you can become friends quite naturally.”

Haruki Murakami (1Q84 Book 1)
World Peace Through Beer

Mother Nature doesn’t care if you’re having fun. (Larry Niven) – But she is not opposed to it either.
