PARADISE
by
Brenda Girolamo

PARADISE is not a garden
that we sinned our way out of
or a kingdom that we need to
earn our way in to.

PARADISE is the Life around us,
in front of us, and within us.
It is the unseen and the seen in all
of its creativity and wholeness—
in all of its sacred holiness.

We are the MANy MANsions
of heaven. Our minds and hearts
hold the keys to witness and
thrive in PARADISE and
experience 'heaven on earth.'

There is no need to
wait for PARADISE,
for it is alive and eternally
unfolding through us...
with every thought,
with every heartbeat,
with every lifetime,
and it is for each of us to
arrive in our 'own time.'
