It seems funny to me that we talk about going up to heaven when we die. Which way is up? Depending on the continent we live on it could be a lot of different directions. Nevertheless, when we think of the heavens we are covering a vast expanse beyond the human mind. We are in a small miniscule part of this great cosmos. If the cosmos were a human being, they would have to use an electron microscope just to find the Milky Way Galaxy! How small we must be!

Is Heaven up there

hidden in the Milky Way…

An eternal Spring?
