I'm not familiar with any English nursery rhymes since I was born and raised in China. Becoming a father in the states has exposed me to quite a few tunes. My daughter was recently given a "play-along" nursery rhymes book. The first song is "Row row row your boat". I have heard it before, but this time the lyrics took on a whole new level of meaning. Here's the simple lyrics:
Row Row Row Your Boat, Gently Down The Stream, Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily, Life Is But A Dream!Perhaps we should all take a moment and remind ourselves to be gentle with our actions in life, and be happy while doing it, because life after all, is just a dream as pointed out by the convergence of physical and metaphysical philosophies.
