Yes, I believe in Heaven. A land stretched between the mortal moment, saturated in ethereal love. Allah is there His hands joined with the Christian God and with Buddha too. Mahatma Ghandi’s aura billows out to the most distant human peacemaker as the spirit of ahimsa and satygraha survive the gale of change. Mother Teresa is there Her hands joined with Paul Wellstone and Princess Diana too. Martin Luther King’s passion ignites the soul-fire of the oppressed as his quest for equal rights lives on in every heart that believes. Yes, I believe in Heaven. A land stretched between the mortal moment, saturated in ethereal love. This is certainly not meant to offend anyone of any religion or political persuasion. This is simply how I feel and how I believe things to be. *ahimsa: absolute non-violence *satygraha: Ghandi's philosophy of "soul force" which advocated truth, non-violence, and passive resistance. *Krista Knutson* |

This shows only your belief and the wish for all those who believe in different religions to embrace the hands of each other and see heaven...bliss...harmony all at once! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send many angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Krista, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
