The Peace and Camaraderie of Heaven

 In the Mongolian Teng religion dating back to Genghis Khan,

"Heaven" is referred to with reverence as "The Eternal Blue Sky."

This folk religion believes the purpose of life is to be in harmony with the universe.

The "Blue Sky" reference is reflected in the flag of Ukraine,

With blue sky above and the reflection of the sun below, 

as a field of golden yellow sunflowers.

In my dreams and in my prayers, I long for the peace and camaraderie of Heaven.

In Heaven, there will be no yesterday and no tomorrow—there will only be peace.

It is a place to forget about time, and never be early, or late, or lost.

There will be no regrets from the past, nor worry about the future.

In my dreams, my hope for The Eternal Blue Sky comes alive.

There are two places where hope is alive, and two places where hope is absent.

Hope exists here on Earth as an expectation based on faith in the Resurrection.

According to Dante Alighieri, and the teachings of the Christian faith,

There is also hope of a heavenly reward after an expiation of sins in Purgatory.

However, there is no hope in Hell, where it is too late for expiation.

There is also no hope in Heaven—because we no longer need it once we are there.

In my dreams and in my prayers, I long for the peace and camaraderie of Heaven.

The Prophet Muhammad said, "Heaven lies at the feet of your mother."

I long to sit at the feet of my mother again—and my father.

And like Reb Tevye in the "Fiddler on the Roof" song, "Tradition,"

To sit with the learned men would be one of the sweetest things of all.

In the Gospel of John 21:9 to 21:13, Jesus cooked breakfast for the apostles.

That is the camaraderie I seek...To have breakfast with Jesus. Amen
