This is how the story of Centennial, half man half owl begins...
Many years ago, on a bright sunny day in mid spring there was a person named Centennial. He was well educated, social and had lots of friends with common interests in life. Knowledge was a key factor in Centennial’s life. With his accumulated knowledge he brings wise solutions to ones who are in need and with a helicopter view he gives good advice on every imaginary problem. Therefore, friends gave him a nickname ‘the owl’.
He always ran out of time. If you ask the love of his life what she thinks about it she would say: “He’s always occupied, living in the future and he has few quality moments with his loved ones.”
On the day his first child was born his wife asked him: “What do you really love in life? What makes your heart beats faster? He struggled to answer straight away, but this particular question intrigued him deeply.
A few months later on a cold winter evening by the campfire Centennial decided to think about his wife’s question. He opened a well-aged bottle of whiskey to get the most honest answer he can think of.
The question kept running through his mind, but no good answer came to him. Suddenly, after he finished 1/2 of the bottle in a blur state of thinking a tought came to him: “How is this spirit that I’m drinking made?”
Like a truth seeker he got all excited and started searching for the real story behind the creation of this great spirit.
In spite of finding the knowledgeable answers he was hoping for, he sank more and more into disappointing explanations. He wasn’t able to find the satisfying true answers.
Then, like a lightning hit him he knew the answer to his wife’s question: “If I want to find out what’s truly in this spirit I have to make it myself.” This is how Centennial’s wisdom journey is born and the question of his wife answered by itself.
The never ending interest of making knowledgeable spirits is a fact!
