I've always felt this rhyme resonated something different for me than any of the other rhymes, ever since I was a kid. It seems to be a way for the Universe to tell you something important. Anyone else feel this? Or am I slowly going mad? :|
mad, sir.
Maybe because it's implications are too deep to 'just' be a nursery rhyme, yet it's catchy and easy to remember?
I wonder who wrote it now....
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily .... life is but a dream
the message seems pretty clear to me.
It's so Tao - just go with the flow.
:-D
