Heaven (As It Is On Earth)

(English language haiku by Jonatha Chance)

Down here, I can see

Heaven (as it is on Earth):
Too many angels.

Chapter Eight presents the next movement of my musical work in progress, The Disquieting: [IV] The Half-Life Of Transcendence. This section offers an apology to the Himalaya, an exceptional place where the earth and the heavens embrace. For context, I examine the history and present of Mount Everest, share recent literary research into Salman Rushdie’s best-known novel, and consider the transcendental implications for the peculiar human habit of climbing mountains.

The Playlist Of Now for Chapter Eight provides a vicarious and metaphysically vertiginous excursion into the Everest Death Zone courtesy of Spotify. Enjoy.
