is a place on earth

heaven is not far away.

it's closer than we think. all around us if we pay attention....

No - heaven is NOT this distant, unattainable place. it shows up around the corner, around the block. we can find heaven if we're present in the moment. in a flower moving in the breeze. in another person's eyes. in the laughter of someone you love. your favorite song playing when you needed to hear it most. it's all around if you open your eyes.

one of my most wonderful places to find heaven is on a plate. clean, round, white. and in the middle is the mecca - one lone, major gi-normous slice of cake. pick your flavor. mounds of chocolate or creamy cheese. the most buttery pecan pie ever made. i'll take fluffy pumpkin spice w/ the yummiest cream-cheese frosting. every bite takes you closer to heaven.

my top heaven findings:
the full moon's reflection on the ocean
silvery-skyblue eyes
well duh - pumpkin spice cake
laughter from someone i love
sunsets in arizona
when truth is present
