Unguarded heaven

I’m one of those people who think that heaven is something we can put our energy into creating on earth, rather than waiting for pie in the sky when we die (tho pie, mmmmm). Part of that is doing what I can to bring about love and peace and other fluffy concepts, and so sometimes I get to think about what my idea of heaven might be. It’ll differ from yours as we all have our own versions of what’s important. I have realised today that something I would really really like is a lack of guardedness. So my picture of heaven is a pile up of people whom I love, all sprawled over one another. No dead arms from the weight tho, it is heaven after all, so there’s no physical problems like that. So just me and my lovelies all contentedly sprawled in one wonderful , unending hug. Nothing we have to do, no deadlines. No concerns about if we’re liked or wanted. No guards up or masks on, just hanging out, happy. Lots of laughter and affection and togetherness.  It’s not an orgy, it’s not a sexual thing, it’s about just being. Tho maybe clothes aren’t needed in heaven cos we won’t be bothered or anxious about what we or others look like, and I’m sure it won’t be chilly. We’ll just be chilling That might be too much for our earthly heads to grasp tho, so woolly jumpers back on. But can you see what I'm aiming for - a world where we are so at ease with our bodies, so comfortable in our own skin, so assured of our being accepted that we just don't need to hide - even if that's just metaphorical for now.

Some of my happiest times are when I’m with people and they don’t have their guards up. It’s why I am unfazed when people cry, cos I know it’s a letting down of the defences and I think that’s just ace. Tho I realise it’s cos they’re often feeling overwhelmed, and that’s not in itself a happy thing, but in letting it out it can be looked at together.

So if I’m bringing about heaven, I guess it’s important for me to keep looking at where I feel guarded and let the walls down and the love in. Happy heaven making peeps :D
