It might be the most profound of all the children's rhymes."Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.  Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream."It's a rhyme that describes the truly spiritual life.  The truly spiritual life rows gently.

The truly spiritual life doesn't struggle for its own way.  The truly spiritual life understands that its personal ideas serve only as catalysts for the greater ideas of a greater intelligence to be demonstrated.  And the truly spiritual life always relinquishes the former for the latter.

The truly spiritual life rows down the stream.
The truly spiritual life demonstrates power well beyond its personal power.  The truly spiritual life is supported through daily miracles, out-workings, serendipities and timings, the likes of which could never be engineered through personal knowledge.  The truly spiritual life has good luck all the time.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
The truly spiritual life is a life comfortably surrendered to a realm of knowledge well beyond its personal knowledge - this greater intelligence.  The truly spiritual life allows this realm of knowledge well beyond its personal knowledge - this greater intelligence - to orchestrate the details of its life.  And the truly spiritual life enjoys the mystery that such a surrender dictates.

"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.  Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream."
