Paradise

A misbegotten son becomes a misunderstood man that does not tow the line and is the blacksheep of the Family. Time moves slowly and no one seems to notice as he tries to make Paradise, having touched it once and finding she was only faking making him think it was real. Maybe one can only catch a glimpse of Paradise ? May God forgive him for what he tried to make and let those who love him forgive him. Paradise is not to be made, it awaits, in love and faith, in a child's laughter, in hugs and vows to a special one. It is all around, but you must open your eyes to waves crashing on the beach, to a walk down a snow covered lane, it is in the animals scurrying about, it is in the laughter on a holiday or in the tears at a wedding. Don't be fooled he writes to others, Paradise awaits.
