This thread has really made me realize how undesirable my idea of heaven is--- right now, anyway. I'm just so human.
Heaven to me is not of the earth. Therefore, I don't think the things or people we desire now will even be in heaven. The person that you are, your favorite food, poetry, uncle.... they'll all be left behind. Heaven will be praising the one Being we should have been giving all our attention to in the first place.
And frankly, I'd rather just stay here on this planet with Mark Twain...
"I'd like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
and half grant what I wish and snatch me away
Not to return. Earth's the right place to love:
I don't know where it's likely to go better."
-Twain, "Birches"
