One of my favourite quotes is by Tracy Chapman
I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise
Of ordinary people leading ordinary lives
Today I discovered it is from the song Heaven's Here on Earth from the New Beginnings album and I also found this. Personally I think it expresses beautifully my beliefs.
Enjoy....
The world is our temple
The world is our church
Heaven's here on earth

Belinda Carlisle also sang, "Ooo, heaven is a place on Earth". I concur. The world is nature, and nature is my church. I love my Earth.

I forgot to mention if you want to get the full effect of the video click on the square within the square just below the YouTube Icon - this will put it in full screen, the pictures are of good enough quality and the video editing are such that it really adds to the viewing.
Glad you enjoyed.

Last night I stood in deep contemplation before the large cedar tree in our back yard, contemplating the tree and the stars above, when Mother Cedar and the stars above took me into a loving embrace. A moment of Heaven on Earth.

Great video, LB! Put me just in the right frame of mind for church!
Now I must get showered and shaved and ready for church. Talk to you later.

Heaven is here on earth and it's hiding in Atlantis where Elvis now lives and moves and has his being. Alternately, Heaven is at a Montreal vs. Toronto hockey game with our Saviour, Don Cherry (a good Anglican, BTW), giving us coaches corner along with his friend and side-kick, Ron McLean. Seventh heaven happens when the Leafs win.

Southpaw, the Leafs winning is one of the seven signs that the end is nigh

"Heaven's not a place that you go when you die,
It's a moment in life when you touch and you feel alive."
That's a song lyric that gives my opinion 100 %. Heaven's all around the Earth, you just have to stop and feel every once and a while to appreciate it.

Just imagine, God being the totality of cosmic energy, and contemplating biological life on our planet as one of the outcomes of ITs chaotic throes, and exclaiming: "This is Heaven!"
Being eternal energy is endlessly boring. The fascinating part of being energy are the experiences of the biological life forms in the here and now.
And when the biological life form self-named Homo sapiens sapiens uses its double sapiency to experience itself as eternal energy on top of experiencing biological life, this is eternal heaven on earth.
