I have often heard that someone ‘died and went to Heaven’.
It came as a surprise revelation to me when I realized that, I have stayed alive
and come to Heaven. I look around and find it very familiar. It looks just like
the area around where I live.
I was walking outside, this evening after dark. It had
rained earlier in the day and the skies had cleared up. I could feel a cool and
yet exhilarating pleasant dampness as I looked up and saw the stars bright and
clear above me. I could see Mars too, beautiful and a sparkling shade of red.
All was quiet and peaceful with the night traffic giving a gentle hum to the
background. Something I had read from a friend’s recent post on social media inspired
me to think about it.
I had had my dinner and was feeling good. My children were healthy
and were finding their purposes in life at school and work. They were following
their hearts with hard work. Family, friends and loved ones were in touch from
all over the world, wishing us well. I
am quite content with what I have. I figured, there is not much more I could
have asked of Heaven. Of course, there are a couple of things I could ask for,
but no need to go into that now… ๐
I reckon we all need to find our own slices of Heaven, where
we are, even if for a few good moments.
