What If This is Heaven

What if this is heaven?
Not like, What if this dark world is as good as it gets? Sorry.
More like, What if we are actually living in the midst of heaven,
And the only reason it doesn't seem that way is
Because the noise is so loud
That the signal can't get through?

What if heaven is not a place where there is no crime, hate or disease
But a place from which you can see, in spite of those things,
The amazing beauty of life, of people, and the
Capacity for resilience, compassion, and forgiveness.
