Just A Thought ~ WHAT IS REAL?

Constantly, our senses are bombarded with impressions, many of which trigger memories which send us off all over the world and back into the past; truly, the speed of thought is fantastic! Instantly, a sight, a sound, a smell, a taste, a touch can bring to mind a person ~ a friend, a foe, or merely a stranger ~ who was part of our life years ago, or an event, an experience, a memory long filed away and seemingly forgotten in the mind. However can we complain of boredom when life is such an adventure? But then, you might say that such things are only memories, and not real. Not real? What is real? A dream, at the time, is as real to us as waking life when we wake up; when we dream, we think it is real. We should learn to watch and enjoy the comings and goings of things, because we cannot catch and hold life as a possession; it always slips through our fingers.
