A Butterfly’s Dream

From The Chuang Tzu, Chapter 2

Chuang Tzu dreamed that he was a butterfly.
All day long, he floated on the breeze
Without a thought of who he was or where he was going.

When he awoke, Chuang Tzu became confused.
“Am I a Man’, he thought, “who dreamed that I was a butterfly?
Or am I butterfly, dreaming that I am a man?
Perhaps my whole waking life is but a moment in a butterfly’s dream!.
This is a story of transformation”

Life is but a dream, albeit a complicated one.
