The Best Dream of them all

This came to me from my younger cuz! and if I may add what she wrote in the
mail that accompanied it ...

hey bhaiya
this excerpt has the wondrousness of being related to in different ways every time i read it, each time making perfect congruous sense.
An ideal to live up to.
An idyll to revel in.
The best dream of them all.


For, after the gospels,
after the human and divine comedies,
after the
one thousand and one nights,
after crime and punishment, war and peace,
pride and prejudice,
the sound and the fury,
between good and evil
being and nothingness,
after the tempest, the trial
and the
wasteland
after things have fallen apart,
after the hundred years of
solitude,
after the remembrance of things past,
in the kingdom of this
world,
we can still astonish the gods in humanity
and be the stuff of
future legends,
if we but dare to be real,
and have the courage to see
that this is the time to dream
the best dream of them all."
