#150 How Far To Heaven
How far is it to heaven?
Is Heaven in our dreams at night?
Or is it when we turn out the light.
Is it there on a warm summer's day?
Or is it there when you dream the day away.
Is it born on a warm summer breeze?
Or is it there when the leaves blow on the trees.
Is it there when we wake to hear the birds in the morn?
Or is it there when the day is long.
Is it where the flowers bloom?
Or is it when the sky is clear blue.
All I know is that Heaven is here on Earth in every breath we take,
every sight we see everything we taste, feel, smell & hear.
Heaven is near.

"If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future."
--Majjhima Nikaya

"Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment."
