Life is but a dream…

In this world of dreams,
drifting off still more;
and once again speaking
and dreaming of dreams.
Just let it be.
-Ryokan

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
-Matthew 14:30

Maya is the veil of transitoriness in Nature, the ceaseless becoming of creation; the veil that each man must lift in order to see behind it the Creator, the changeless Immutable, eternal Reality.
-Paramahansa Yogananda

“The world is a dream, you say, and it’s lovely, sometimes.  Sunset.  Clouds.  Sky.”
“No.  The image is a dream.  The beauty is real.  Can you see the difference?”
-Richard Bach, Illusions

Row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily;
life is but a dream.
