What is this wistful longing?
I have it when I drive by a beautiful home and wonder does the beauty outside reflect the beauty from within? Are the people there loving each other? Are they happy? Are they joined together, sharing their loads, as they face the challenges of life? Do the parents get to relax in and enjoy this house? Do the children feel cared for and valued everyday in this house? Do the grandparents get to enjoy the home too?
I have it when I drive past a beautiful meadow and wonder what freedom is there? What would it be like to hold my loved ones hands and skip or run through it in Springtime or Fall? What if that freedom could dispel all the concerns I hold in my heart and in my head? What if I could hold a moment like that forever?
I have it when I gaze across an ocean and wonder what it might feel like to float for days and nights across that beautiful, azure, endless looking, flowing water, without it dashing me under its powerful gigantic waves nor the brightness of the beautiful sunshine burning my skin or eyes. What if the other living creatures in it would cause me no harm and perhaps we would even have a friendship of some sort?
Am I longing for Heaven? I think so.....
Do any of you ever have these types of feelings? What do you make of them?
