the butterfly dream

zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of zhuangzi

bir başka eve gidiş ve eve dönüş sonrası...........
bir zamanlar bir yerlerde okuduğum kelebeğin rüyasını hatırlatıyor hissettiklerim bana. çin'li düşünür zhuangzi rüyasında bir kelebek olduğunu görür. güzel bir kelebek. gerçek bir kelebek. sonra uyanır ve işte ordadır zhuangzi. etten ve kemikten. bu sefer de kelebek rüya görmektedir belki. kim bilir?

''Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Zhuangzi. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuangzi. But he didn't know if he was Zhuangzi who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi. Between Zhuangzi and a butterfly there must be somedistinction! This is called the Transformation of Things.''
