At times like this
I find myself asking
over and over again...
What Color is Heaven?
This is when I yearn to be alone.
I ponder.
I pray.
My obvious answer is white.
The color of purity & the clouds.
Then I think of Blue.
The color of the sky, the sea,
all of my babies eyes...
But is Heaven warm?
I ask.
Finally my answer comes
&
comforts me...
I remember a dream I once had.
My dream was more vivid
and more real than
LIFE!
All my senses were
ALIVE!
I realized when I woke up
I just visited
Heaven!
So my prayers,
being answered once again,
I know that Heaven is
Here and There.
There is no color at all
but at the same time,
it is all colors...
There is no door between us.
We are already there.
Heaven is wherever we are
that makes us
happy,
and yes warm~~
It is something like Magic.
It is somewhere within us...
So all of those Angels Here and in Haiti
who pass before us,
mothers, fathers, grandparents, all family,
friends
&
our precious babies
are truly still here with us.
We are all sharing the same space~
I wish you all
comfort & warmth
today!
XO

ReplyDeleteyour Majesty,
ReplyDeleteWow! how touching this article. You have given us so much to think about and reflect upon. I believe that there is a spiritual energy that is so big and that it will spread it's energy upon Haite and it's beautiful people. I am so proud of how so many countries have come together to help them and to show that we all are brothers and sisters that belong to Mother Earth. Amazing Pictures!!!
Royal wishes,
Daisy

I am almost speechless, you have a way with words like no other and your choice of pictures to take us into your words visually is amazing, thankyou,Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI have also wondered that very same thing lately. My Mom is currently very near to her journey. She lives with us in a cute little apartment we built onto our home. She is so sweet and precious, and in 52 years I have never heard her say anything bad about anyone. I'm not sure how life will be here when she leaves, but I am comforted by knowing in my heart that she will still be with us. Your post and your words and pictures were very comforting as well. I always wondered which would be preferable, have a loved one go suddenly, or over time. I am very grateful for the long goodbye we are able to have. Bless your heart and thank you!
ReplyDeleteWarm Hugs,
Sheila
I had a glimpse of heaven once in a dream... It was like opalescent, but a zillion times prettier! God's loving light is really indescribable... Love hearing other people's experiences and descriptions; it's a life-changeing thing knowing the awesomeness of God's warm, loving, light!
ReplyDeleteDreamy and so lovely. Perfect for my Sunday. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas of heaven and realized they are the same as mine. Thank you for this heavenly post.
ReplyDeleteYou have a picture of The Meurice Hotel in Paris France on your blog and I just adore it! I put that picture on my facebook and said that that is where I want to go for Valentine Day...you should have seen the responses!! Everyone wants to go. Thank you for giving me and my friends something wonderful to think about besides this horrible snowstormy weekend with more to come. I'll be sure to tell them to check out your blog. It is beautiful!
