When heaven is someplace out there it becomes whatever you want it to be.

The other day I was at a Unitarian Universalist clergy event. At some point we were invited to turn to someone and pronounce a blessing upon that person. It’s what we do these days.

Quit chasing after baubles…
Turn the light within.

Keep going.
Beyond hell and heaven.
Through joy.
Through sorrow.
To the deep.
Wonders abide within the deep…
