LIGHTENED UP ENLIGHTENMENT: It's true I've read a lot of books about spirituality, many of which have a Buddhist bent. But I don't know if I've ever come across more useful spiritual wisdom than what I heard myself singing to my son a few nights ago:

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

That's it in a nutshell.
