Everlasting Life

Nothing that breathes is immortal, yet lives on through regenerations in the planting of seeds or the scattering of cells that furtilize and nurture new growth. Is that part of everlasting life?

*When does life begin?
*When does everlasting life begin?
* When does life end?
* When does life after death begin?

Scientific, spiritual, and dogmatic communities do not know and cannot agree on the concept of eternal life. The true beginning of time, or an ending to the universe is a mystery that needs no answer. No one knows which came first: the chicken or the egg. No one knows where heaven or hell may be. Why does it matter? To some it matters because they seek to know their relevence. Some of us will be remembered for good deeds or bad. And some of us are soon forgotten. We try to leave a legacy of art or architecture, dollars or decision, in the hope that we made a difference. Many lives were made better by the lessons of one man or woman. Many lives were ended by the words of one man or woman. They are people we can name for centuries. Is that part of everlasting life?

#Do we live for an afterlife?
#Can we live in a heaven on earth?
#Can we find heaven in a hellish situation.

A wonderful life can end badly by illness and suffering. Giving comfort to those in their ending days is one way to find a heaven in the middle of hell. Loving others without expectation creates a heaven on earth. Always waiting for better things to come is like living among the dead. Many of us choose to live in a community of cooperation and support. This requires a loving spirit and results in a happy life. So who can imagine the perfect afterlife. Streets paved with gold or a garden full of watermelon. We all thirst for different things. But, mainly comfort, peace, beauty, and contentment.

Believe that it is possible, work toward helping others daily, and know that heaven is at hand.
