Dreamtime Garden

The Dreamtime garden slowly materialized out of the mist as I drifted into a slumber.

From among the ferns I made out a barely audible voice. Upon closer inspection, I was greeted by a Lizard. Lizard looked at me and stated, "Follow me and I will reveal to you the key of the universe".

Following Lizard as he scurried over the vegitation, he soon lead me to the base of a giant tree with 3 trunks. At the base of one of the trunks there grew a golden cluster of mushrooms. The Mushrooms were strikingly luminscent in the fading daylight.

Lizard then spoke in a surpisingly calming tone, "Eat of these mushrooms and the Trinity Tree will reveal to you the answers to all your questions".
Before I could ask any questions of Lizard, he disappeared into the underbrush. I did as Lizard instructed me. I carefully picked the small cluster of fungi and ate them. The taste was remarkably neutral, and for a moment was wishing I had a Ceasars Salad to go with the mushrooms.
I took a seat on the ground, facing what Lizard had named the Trinity Tree, not knowing what to expect from this experience. Then without warning, without fanfare, my being was flooded with eternal knowledge. All the questions I ever had were answered in a moment not measurable by time.
As I came to the realization that life is merely an illusion, with humanity being a patchwork of individual realities, held together by common belief systems, forming a worldwide, collective consciousness, the Trinity Tree began to melt into the ground.

Before I could watch the Trinity Tree completely disappear, I was abruptly startled into consciousness by a 15 pound feline stomach, wanting its hunger satiated. The ravenous cat watched carefully from atop his perch, as the pungent aroma of tuna erased the remaining tendrils of the garden experience from my mind, only to leave a faint footprint on the meandering path of my life.

Peace to Everyone,
Peaceful Nomad

You just brightened my day. This post reminded me of a book. I suggest you read Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury.
-------------------- Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. ~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
