Earth And Heaven: Two Versions

His Version: Head bowed, hands folded, you stand at the edge of the only available Heaven. You wait for ordinary miracles to occur. Behind us, steadfast parishioners pray. The long dense line from this morning has thinned to just these true believers. I think it matters less and less whether or not those seeking transformation achieve their final goals. We truly belong to the Earth, not Heaven. And everything we touch and taste and feel, everything we know and desire is of the Earth. I stand by you near an invisible threshold you will cross without me. You wait for Heavens's grace, myself for Earth's reply. Her Version: Why Not? was my question to you all those years ago, when we first met and we both knew for the first time the giddy joy of true love. There has always been only you for me and only me for you. We succeeded so well in becoming one that we could exchange our minds and live the day as the other person. The morning of our life in love has never darkened into afternoon, much less into night. We have been ever and always suffused in light. And so my question is still, Why Not? Bend your stubborn knees, kneel, and declare Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, and together we will slip into Eternal Life.
