Heaven Is Here

We are in the midst of the divine play. The divine Friend continually invites us to see a larger view of this life we are living. Clues and prompts are everywhere. When we pay attention, we discover it. Life is holy; heaven is here.
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian

We only have to look around us to see heaven everywhere. It is in the eyes of a little child discovering the delight of a leaf on the ground; it is the eyes of our pets looking at us or quietly laying next to us. We can experience heaven when we eat a delicious meal prepared by someone with love or when we eat a piece of deliciously ripe fruit. We can experience heaven when we take a walk and see and feel nature all around us. Heaven is hearing the birds waking up and singing as the sun rises in the morning. Heaven is hearing a beautiful piece of music. As Yogacharya says, the clues and prompts are everywhere. Just pay attention and enjoy. Life is holy and heaven is here.
