    That's the only way I could imagine a heaven being. A time when: Everything was beautiful. Nothing hurt.

    It feels like heaven sitting in the sunlight on a cold winter morning with a cup of coffee......but it is transient....
    I never really understood the concept of heaven myself....for basically if all the stuff written about it is to be believed, basically heaven means a place where you no longer want anything....
    Now that can be because you get everything you want (not possible) or because you actually no longer want anything at all.....
    Either way, that is what it is supposed to be....complete peace....perfection......That is what they say isn't it? When a man reaches perfection he reaches heaven (for instance Galahad, in The Once and Future King)....
    The concept here is quite similar too.....Nirvana. The blowing out of the candle, because the dawn has come.


    The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

    I would descrive heaven as spending an eternity in a place where all interesting people are missing, along with almost all of my friends. And they are replaced with This kind of people

    Heaven......

    retired after a long enjoyable career. grandchildren come to visit occaisonally. living on the family land in Montana. Hunting and fly fishing in the daytime and at night after eating great food i caught getting to retire to my library. maple lined walls, wall to wall bookshelves sections for history, philosophy, and of course trashy fiction. Writing some books in my spare time at my leisure, male friends to hang out with, and a woman to love and spend my life with.

    honestly, it isnt about havent lots of stuff im all about simple lifestyles with a few nice things you truly enjoy. For me Books, family and the outdoors.

    This George Lynch?





    I took these shots from about 10-15 feet away. I didn't meet him though. I'm not the "let's talk to the famous guy" type person.
