I believe I’m at my best and my world is greatly improved when I’m able to remove or see through (if only temporarily) the many layers of judgment, bias, pain, fear, shame, guilt, and so much more that that I so readily carry around with me, so that I can see, feel, and experience the greatness, goodness, and kindness within others and myself.
If there is some version of a heaven–and I believe there is, even if only in our own hearts–I think it is simply where and/or when the veils are lifted from our eyes, minds, and hearts, and we can all see, feel, and experience the greatness, goodness, and kindness within others and ourselves ALL THE TIME.
I’ve been blessed with being able to experience the greatness, goodness, and kindness within many many people and other living creatures. I’m very grateful for those precious glimpses that life provides of what is beneath and all around the veils.









I could not agree more, Russ. As I approach the 50-yard line of life, I find myself “seeing” these truths, if only for a while as you mention. I am grateful that thoughts like this come to me, if not directly, then indirectly through friends such as you.
Best,
Dave
