I saw something today that made me think. What if when we die we get to go to our own heaven! I’ve seen it in movies and television and well I’m exploring what mine is. From an early age we are given an example of heaven as clouds, white robes, and trumpets. That was my belief for most of my life. And even as a child I didn’t think that would be my idea of heaven. Then some years later I saw a movie called Made in Heaven with Timothy Hutton. That movie really got me thinking about what my heaven is. If you get the chance watch it because it’s awsome.
Everyone is different and so everyone’s heaven must be different as well. I am most certainly different! I’ve given it much thought during my life and while some things vary, for the most part it has remained the same. You know as I have matured I’ve replaced characters and surroundings. While younger it was of course candy and toys. And in my teen years it was beer and rated R movies and girls!! For my younger readers, when I was a kid we weren’t allowed to watch anything harder than PG. We couldn’t get into them at the theaters, and there wasn’t DVD’s or VCR’s. Yep I’m old!! HaHaHa! Now that I’m in my $&^&@# and trying to be mature, I have a different take on my personal heaven.
So here goes, Dion’s Heaven: There are still modern devices, but I’m away from it all in a way. My house is at the base of the mountains with a valley out in front. There is a river there full of fish and a forrest with massive trees. The house is a large two story log cabin with a seperate shop. Large spacious rooms with many windows to take in the vistas surrounding the house. The shop is for my wood working. I will make furniture to sell in the local city. The entire property is powered by a windmill powerstation. So it is seperate from the grid. In order to get to the city I have a wagon and horses, because there are no vehicles allowed within 30 miles of the house. My days consist of waking up when I want to, going to my shop and working for a few hours a day, tending the land and of course there is a garden. I will spend some day’s fishing for my dinner and swimming. Once a month I will load up and begin the journey to the city. At the outskirts of my property I have a stable and garage. There I stable the horses and move my wares to the truck for the drive to the city. I sell my furniture and get supplies for the coming month. Drive back home and live more.
I know that most will say that in heaven you won’t work, but really how long can you sit around and do nothing? Besides it’s my heaven anyway! I have dreampt of building and selling my own furniture for quite some time and living out there in the mountains and doing what I dream of, wow!! So this for the time being is my idea of heaven, and who know’s if something interesting happens I could possibly make it a heaven on earth. In case someone wonders, no I’m not alone there is always someone there with me. She has changed thorough the years, not meaning the exact person so much as the idea of her. She is as skilled as I in woodworking, knows as much as I about farming, and is not afraid of work. As I said I’m different and my ideal woman in heaven as well as in life is smart, strong, funny, and caring. What can I say I want someone that meets me quip for quip! Never let’s me forget I’m loved. And will stand with me shoulder to shoulder. Yep she’s awsome and she’s there on the ranch, but in my dream I can’t really see her face but I see her always.
I told you I was different! I have a heaven that involves work with a woman that never let’s me get away with anything. My life has never been easy and I’m fine, so why would I want easy forever. The big difference is that in Dion’s heaven, working is not for money to pay bills, working is to live! I have had the dream of working to live ever since I started working to pay bills. I hope you like my vision of my afterlife!
