Rabindranath Tagore: (India 1861-1941) "Yo dormía y soñaba que la vida era alegría, desperté y ví que la vida era servicio, serví y ví que el servicio era alegría". As I slept, I dreamed that life was happiness. I awoke and saw that life was service. I served and saw that services was happiness.
In this music video, Pat is honored unconditionally (by the music), rather than focusing on accomplishments or tying her identity to a place, an institution, or assignment.
I remember a dream. It was a whole new format. I was able to adjust the dream anyway I wanted. So I had a pleasant dream.
I was fishing. What could be more pleasant? So I added my wife to the scene. She sat on the shore and told me how wonderful I was doing and gave me a kiss every time I caught a fish. Then she started calling the kids every time I caught one. However, she did not want to be in the water, so I added her sister.
She was fishing beside me. Every time I caught one or she caught one, she would give me a hug, so we caught more. When I had my limit of trout, I started catching crappie, and so forth. My wife, of course, gathered family all around her, so she could tell them about how beautiful the sun was shining, so I kept adjusting the dream to make it a more and more beautiful fall day with changing leaves and a warm breeze. The happier she got, the more pleasant my dream was for me.
I am happy when she is happy. She is happy when her kids are with her. The happier she got, the more hugs I got, so it was just a pleasant dream because my family was there, and I remember it. Too bad I woke up before the fish fry.
So, pleasant dreams to you.
