On Break

If heaven is our home
the cosmic realm
where we come from
and return
this would mean…
that by default…
our life here on earth 
is actually us
deciding to
take a break
from heaven
now…
is it just me
or 
is that not
the oddest
most mindblowing
concept
you ever heard

interesting thoughts, if it is true, what were we thinking to leave such beauty and come here? perhaps we were made to come here to learn about pain and suffering to truly appreciate heaven... Happy Valentine's day Line... liked this one :) hugs

A vacation from heaven that we will never want again. Great thought.

Nothing surprises me anymore...if you have it right then this experience much be special despite the suffering, of which is blatantly obvious...one that we can't experience in heaven...a poem of wonder
