Heaven and Earth

Each of us enters heaven to taste, travel around especially in dreams such journeys abound, it is our duty to make both heaven and earth sound man, a wayward product of heaven, but source and body are never far apart found for heaven and earth are inseparably bound we all enter earth to taste, sense, recall, and travel around confused by gold castles and roads of jewels church paintings by blessed fools, a kiss is connection breathless bliss of heaven a child's first notes such joyful cries no new parent with dry eyes we all enter heaven with such miraculous sighs division not God's will but the Devil's persistent lies

Yes! Jie, i like starting my day having read this. Goodness! I could fill a whole volume commenting. This feels more inspired than like a day’s work at writing.i can’t seem to Recall being in/with Source but there must be a reasin for that…i once read life (here) is kindergarten as prep for heaven, & unfortuneately this past yr teaching me much re Devil’s encroaching ways. Hugs for this one, Joe. xoxo sally

Hi Sally; this has been a tough life for me as well, lots of pain and prolonged suffering. For years I was bitter, till I realized that my reason for suffering had been a form of protection, isolating me from common relationships and philosophies -- a chance-doorway for more spiritual understanding of life in general, myself and my relationship with God. As Paul said, "we see through a glass darkly..." -- non of us has the remotest semblance of clear vision. I have found life complicated for that reason, but also found the profound/complex quite simple, when the stars align -- loving relationships perfect examples of heaven on earth. Damn! Not enough space here to really go into all of this. Blessings my friend.
