"Heaven in a Box" People say heaven has a gate-- therefore, it is contained, a bandbox of the select few. "Please let me in; Just open the door a crack, and give me a peek! for the mark of Cain sears my brow and I am a weary wanderer." But if we open our box of heaven, won't it be empty? Perhaps the earth is only a bubble, beautiful and delicate but with heaven peering in, laughing at our storebought imitation of itself. Perhaps we looks out of earth, not into heaven. Mankind groans in its chains of mortality, pounds on the glass window into eternity, crying, "Let us out-- Give us distance, Give us perspective, so that we may see each other through the eyes of angels." |
