Heaven on Earth
This collection is a reflection of my personal journey- my walk along the narrow path.
There came a moment when I finally began to understand the beauty of being fully present: no longer consumed by the future, held by the past, or distracted from the life unfolding in front of myself. For so long, I lived ahead of myself- planning every next move, every adventure, speaking about what I would do, yet overlooking what the moment was asking of me.
As I began to look within myself, I found something deeper. I realized that the spirit was woven through all, every flower, every scent, every animal, the mountains; everything. God is present everywhere, and that all life is an extension of the Father. Beneath everything, there is spirit, love, and beauty.
When you carry this realization into your everyday life, it changes how you wonder through this world. You begin to meet others with greater humility, virtue, and love, recognizing that we are not separate whatsoever. We are connected through spirit. We are apart of something greater. All is one.
The past has already passed, and the future has yet to arrive. The only moment we will ever truly have is now. And when we become still enough to see the beauty, love and spirit already surrounding us, we begin to realize that heaven is not somewhere we must wait to reach. It is here and now.
This is Heaven on Earth.
