I believe it is a gas. I curl up in comfort against the feeling that it is a gas. It's a gas right now, as it is. I very happily imagine myself as a spark in a fire, rising up on a gust of hot air and then sinking back down into the fire, a drop in a fountain, eternally splashing up into the light and falling again and merging again with the water.

Would it be nicer than talking to you, and Lather, and Joan, and JP, and Penni, about it? I think so, but this feels nice, too.

I'm a little confused. Is the assumption that heaven is, or is not, boring? I don't ever think of it as boring. But then I'm easily amused. I don't know if there is anything beyond here or not. I hope so because "being" is fun and I don't want to stop. And that's from someone that has been in about as deep a blackhole as there is more than once and come back from it. But I wouldn't give up "being". There's no pain too painful to sacrifice taht. What breaks my heart most over people who end it is I figure they must not have had that little something, that spark, that beauty of a sunrise to wait on, to keep them going one more day. That's why I know I haven't been in the deepest of blackholes and why I can fathom what their desolation must have been and it is so incredibly sad. If I didn't love sunrise I'd probably be dead with them. But eff it all, and eff 'em all. The sunrise is worth it.

Think I just rambled. <g>
