Reading these prompted me to think that Heaven is probably a lot sillier than we tend to expect. I suppose in the back of my head, i used to expect (when i thought about Heaven and Resurrection at all, which was much less frequently) that we would all just sort of have this Awareness and we wouldn't be clumsy or stumble or make those kinds of mundane mistakes anymore, but now i think that's probably not true. Turning a corner and running into someone and both falling down is actually very funny.
Which, in turn, makes me ponder just how dehumanizing the classical visions of Heaven are.
Top notch!
Very thought-provoking reflections, ideas, and observations throughout. I really enjoyed reading this and will comment on it a bit over at my place.
i needed to read this today. too much to say about it, so i’ll say nothing for now.
