Self-made Heaven



The movie entitled "What Dreams May Come" introduced me to the idea of a self-made heaven.

If I were to envision my personal heaven, the setting would be in a white sand beach with half of the sun's face hiding beneath the horizon. The waves would be rushing towards the shore in slow, hypnotizing rhythms and the wind would be whistling soft tunes coming from some far away land. My heaven would have no concept of time - past, present, and future would would be woven as if they were one, allowing me visitors from different generations. A door would be placed somewhere granting me the opportunity to entertain visitors as well as allow myself isolation from the rest of heaven, if ever I might need it. It should also have something from home, like my wall of pictures, that I might revel in the memoirs of my time on earth.

Should a personal heaven really exist, I hope mine would be as close to what I envision as possible.
