With this video game we call reality getting wild lately, I thought it was a good moment in time to dance on the bridge to Heaven. If near-death-experiencers are right in their accounts, Heaven is our true home, all of us. It is rife with colors, music, and unconditional love.

We need a bit of that chicken soup for the soul right now, don't we?  

Let's channel our inner Led Zepplin and climb the stairway or bridge to Heaven.
