I began to reflect on what so many say about heaven. When someone dies, the comments might be "there is another angel in heaven" or "God needs him/her more than we do", so many different references to list here. There are also the athletes that point to the sky and pat the area over their heart. Heaven seems to be up there in the sky somewhere according to many. I thought of the millions that must die all over the world and the many religions that believe in a soul, a spirit, an essence of a person that lives on after death. My mind's eye saw what that might look like, millions ascending up to, into, the sky after death, on their journey to heaven somewhere up there, out there. I decided to paint it.
