Life Is But A Dream
I often quote the children’s round, Row, Row Row Your Boat, and it’s profound conclusion. “Life is but a dream.” Grant you, life can seem like a nightmare at times, especially till we realize that we, like the little man behind the curtain in Oz, are controlling everything. We may blame it on “the Big Guy” or some fanciful nemesis, but believe me Charles is not in charge just little ole Gus, us.
When I was a boy, many, many years ago Greyhound Bus-lines had a TV commercial that said, “Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us.” No one else is qualified to drive your bus, only you. This life is not a test, a trial run, or a punishment for perceived previous bad driving. It is, I think, a vivid dream custom designed for us, by us, and though the final return destination is pre-programmed all the detours along the way are driver’s choice.
Enjoy the ride, Everything. This is your reality, your dream.
