Haiku

Can't know if it's real
Walk this moonlit path with me
'Til the sun comes up

No More

I am not who you think I am 

But I am everything you dream

Snaking in and out of your thoughts

Like tiny streams of water, moving in 

And out of cyclops rocks

You can't pick me up or hold me

But you can feel the way I move

Cold, wet and ambiguously alive

Like a possible phantom that whispers,

"Once."

I disguise myself, throw myself

At you, hoping you'll notice,

I fall from the sky and seep into your skin,

On days when all you have is rain

I bless your feet in the early morning chill

When you step into the grass out of sleep

When you're hot and thirsty

I am your everlasting drink

So when tears drop from your eyes

As you sit on the rocks by the shore

I am there, coming and going

Always joined by your sadness

Still, when the person you think I am

Is no more

Haiku

My mind, it sees what

My hands create what my heart

Will come to destroy

Illumination

New label for Enlightenment Ales:  Illumination.  The concept is that this is a "sister" beer to Enlightenment.  We wanted to have Enlightenment be very symbolic, artistically conceptual, and Illumination to be a "real world" disguised version of the concept of Enlightenment.  In a sense, when one sees beyond the natural world they would see (experience) Enlightenment.  Illumination is merely the beginning of the process of unveiling, which can be seen when one takes a moment to truly appreciate and see the beauty in the natural world.
