To See Heaven in a 10 Ounce Beer

Sunday morning so let’s talk a little religion.  But just a little religion because I will also be discussing 10 Ounce Buds, so hang with me while I make the connection..

Many moons ago I was talking religion/spirituality with a friend who noted that he felt more at peace and in the presence of the Lord when he was in the woods than he ever did in any church.  When I bounced this idea off my cousin the priest Father John, he explained that there are different forms of spirituality which appeal to different folks.  He noted that my friend obviously was guided by the Franciscan Model of spirituality that is nature based, more free and independent.

I thought of all this recently when I stumbled upon the William Blake poem “To see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.”  The following explains and sums it up very nicely: 


As I listened to the above NPR report I thought that reporter Robert Siegel sounded familiar.  Turns out that he was one of the NPR reporters who did the now famous 2006 story on 10 Ounce Budweiser including an interview session with folks at Buzzy’s Country Store.  When I asked Buzzy why he didn’t talk to the NPR folks for the story, Buzzy simply said  “I didn’t have anything to say to him so I put the 4 O’clock Boys on him.”  Listen at the 4:18 mark to catch the report from Buzzy’s.
