The Other Side Of This Life

outside Clear Creek Canyon


Fred Neil: The Other Side of This Life Jefferson Airplane: The Other Side of This Life






One day a young Buddhist
on his long journey home
came to the banks of a raging river. Staring hopelessly at the great obstacle in front of him,
he pondered for hours on how to cross such a wide barrier.
Just as he was about to give up his pilgrimage, he saw a famous monk on the opposite shore.
The young seeker called out:
"Oh wise one, can you tell me how to get to the other side of this river?" The monk considered the question for a moment, looked up and down the river, and then yelled back:
"My son, you are on the other side."
