The Other Side-A Dream...

I have been hearing a lot about Michael Jackson lately. He has gone over to the Other Side. I guess I wonder every now and then about the Other Side. Last nite I had a dream about the Other Side.

In the dream I was on the boat going over to the other side. In this boat on the second floor there was a bar.

The boat was a Mississippi river boat. And a Buddha was the captain. It was the fat Buddha one sees in Chinese restaurants- HoToi.,He was dressed like Mark Twain in a white suit, white shoes, white bow tie and he talked with a southern accent. And he was definitely in charge. There is a quote from Mark Twain that goes something like this. "I do very much believe in a Creator God. And I believe I was made in His image. But not so much so that anyone would every get one confused with the other."


Jesus was there- he was sitting down and playing the piano. And with a cigarette in his mouth and a drink in his hand, resembling a young Frank Sinatra he was singing 'My Way'.

Michael Jackson was doing the Moon Walk on the bar. Back and forth he went. Non stop. Playful and at peace he was the center of attention.

Elvis was there-he was waiting tables. He wore a shirt that said "Michael Jackson died for our sins."

I think this dream came from a koan or question I have been pondering - What is the Other Side like ???

I do hope the other side is like this dream. I would like to meet these guys and chill with them for a while after their job here is finished and before they start their next one - if there is a next one.

Loved it, Brian. I like this other side that is playful and full of people just doing what they do.
