VR versus "RL"??

From Belavar:
I'm going to put this right here:
everything around us, and all the people and things....are the visible
result of an
invisible movement of some heart, a gleaming idea in a mind,a dream
made tangible:
we do it every day, planning, scheduling,hoping.....
 It takes a lot of Material Time to bring these things into our (so-
called)
"Reality". But it is the invisible, intangible impulse which makes
things "BE".
We found a magic way to extend our Dreams into a medium where they
could be shared....
almost instantly!
VR is just as "REAL" as our heavy slow unpredictable "RL".
Yet, as actors all, we are aware of this:

    PROSPERO:
   " Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
    As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
    Are melted into air, into thin air:
    And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
    The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
    The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
    Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
    And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
    Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
    As dreams are made on; and our little life
    Is rounded with a sleep".
   ( The Tempest Act 4, scene 1, 148–158 .Shakespeare)

Like children of a happy family, we are now all scattered
as if by war, or some unforeseen "Twist of Fate".

Many are wandering from place to place, one is sad about this.
One longs to find that this 'diaspora' has, itself, been just a BAD
dream!

OF LOVE:
Of Love:
Size, shape, weight, scent or colour -
Can you tell me?
Age it has perhaps?
Of notes - how many in that song?
In what Language spoken ....
Heard it, have you?
Weight of gold -
How much costs Love?
  (Bel wrote this.)

Because..."a bird does not sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a Song".
