Heaven is Here. Heaven is Now.
(3)
'Heaven' is an interesting subject. One 'definition' of Heaven is that it is one of the two possible destinations of a soul after the body dies. It's a very old idea, confabulated thousands of years ago by folks who would nowadays be Scientists. The idea has persisted for many hundreds of years. There is no way to verify the existence of Heaven:
----------
Heaven but the vision of fulfilled desire,
And Hell the shadow from a soul on fire,
Cast on the darkness into which ourselves,
So late emerged from shall so soon expire.
----------
Omar Khayyam had it right.
Heaven is here. Heaven is now. If you are looking for Heaven somewhere else, you are looking in vain.
