Heaven

An empty mind that greets every situation that arises,
A silent mind that receives all the noise of the world,
A full heart that gives without greed and open arms that receives without fear.
A stillness that moves and the movement that is still.

A discernment that surpasses reason,
A peace that climbs over circumstances,
A benediction that blesses even curses,
A light that seeks to embrace the dark,
A warmth that is present in chilling moments of pain,
An affection that is present in life’s bane,

What is heaven you ask? This. I say.
Where is it you ask? Here is where.
How to get there you ask? You’re already standing there but looking elsewhere.
