aware...

Heaven on earth... is so totally HERE. It's really all around me and helping to keep my shoulders back and my head up. Isn't it funny that truly at times your perspective can be such that you don't look for it? Or, maybe you look for it, but you don't attribute that it is what it is. It's a powerful stance really, to glance about and search the landscape of your life, as it moves through one minute to the next... and see where heaven is all around you. It's in others, in the laughs, in motives, in movements, in connection, in hearts that reach out to others in anguish or torment. It's really all around... living... breathing... walking... touching... His hands, His feet, are amongst us, and bringing the reality of heaven to earth.

I'm breathing in heaven... it smells like today and today is ours, while tomorrow is promised to no one. Today... I am trying to be present in the heaven on earth.

It sneaks up on you like a warm summer breeze, surrounding you with a lovely fragrance. You sense it, then breathe it in, and say, "ahh, there it is!"
