Those beers sound great. And I have been thinking a lot lately of communion and communication coming from the same word—about sharing and what we all have in common. The unitive impulse we have as manifesting itself outwardly, creatively from an inner grace.
Beautifully put! Yes, it puts me in mind of something that’s often said in church: something along the lines of We who are many are of one body because we drink from one cup… Union and Communion. I don’t at all blaspheme when I equate it with the bodies and sweat of the mosh pit. That to me is a similarly sacred ritual.
We are meant to experience the world with our bodies. All our senses, and I think it’s a matter of internal mental and spiritual discipline too. I used to be a belly dancer. I don’t have time anymore or else I’d still be doing it. You have to know why you do things, and I think a lot of people never ask “why” questions which are essential to philosophy and theology. We live in an age of the primacy of science and technology where the questions are more “how” and not the larger existential “why”… but anywho those were my thoughts.
