“The sight filled the northern sky; the immensity of it was scarcely conceivable. As if from Heaven itself, great curtains of delicate light hung and trembled. Pale green and rose-pink, and as transparent as the most fragile fabric, and at the bottom edge a profound fiery crimson like the fires of Hell, they swung and shimmered loosely with more grace than the most skillful dancer.” IfsLightHeavenHellFireGraceSkySightGreenFilledRoseProfoundBottomEdgesDancerFragileDelicatePaleFabricHungCurtainsTransparentFierySkillfulImmensityCrimsonNorthern Lights Book:Northern lights Source: Northern lights
“A falcon hovers at the edge of the sky.Two gulls drift slowly up the river.Vulnerable while they ride the wind,they coast and glide with ease.Dew is heavy on the grass below,the spider's web is ready.Heaven's ways include the human:among a thousand sorrows, I stand alone.” WayHumansTwoHeavenSkyReadyWindSorrowThousandRiversEdgesHeavyVulnerableEaseGrassCoastSpidersDewStand AloneFalconGullsI Stand Alone Author:Du Fu
“There was a brief moment of weightlesssness: a balancing point between air and earth, dirt and heaven. How strange, I thought, how like the moment between sleeping and falling when everything is beautifully surreal and nothing is corporeal. How like floating towards completion. But as often happens in that time between existing in the world and fading into dreams, this moment over the edge ended with the ruthless jerk back to awareness.” WorldMomentsDreamHappensEarthFallHeavenSleepAirAwarenessStrangeEdgesDirtFloatingSurrealRuthlessJerkCompletionFadingOver The EdgeBrief Moments Author:Andrew Davidson
“So the laws of good driving forbade you to go off the magic ribbon except in extreme emergencies. You were ethically entitled to several inches of margin at the right-hand edge; and the man approaching you was entitled to an equal number of inches; which left a remainder of inches between the two projectiles as they shot by. It sounds risky as one tells it, but the heavens are run on the basis of similar calculations, and while collisions do happen, they leave time enough in between for universes to be formed, and successful careers conducted by men of affairs.” MenTwoEnoughHandsHappensRunningLawUniverseLeftHeavenSoundNumbersCareersSuccessfulMagicHe ManEqualShotsBasesAffairEdgesExtremesDrivingInchesEntitledEmergenciesMarginsCalculationsCollisionRibbonsSuccessful CareerProjectile Book:Oil!

“Heaven comes to people - and their loved ones - when they are dying. It is not uncommon for angels to appear when people are on the edge of death, and people who have had near-death experiences often describe feelings of indescribable peace - Angels.” PeopleFeelingsHeavenInspiringDyingAngelEdgesLoved OnesUncommonIndescribableNear DeathNear Death Experience Book:Angels Dark and Light Source: Angels Dark and Light
