Challenge
No More...
'And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.' (Revelation 21.1) I'd miss the sea, for sure, in the afterlife (if I were to take this verse literally). If there were an afterlife (regardless of your own personal faith, just presume for the moment that there is), what one thing (or collective of things) would you miss most from this life if it/they was/were absent for all eternity? Explain why, if you can, concisely (maximum of 100 words for this challenge!)
Pralines, Among Other Things,
What's the one thing God Himself cannot experience? And if we're to join Him, as is understood in the religions of the world and assumed by the spirituality of our minds, then we will no longer experience it, either:
Wonder.
The crawling infant who reaches for a piece of fuzz on the carpet. The cosmologist realizing a startling revelation. The lifelong childhood of wonder that living in these precarious, finite frames allows us to enjoy, ever-opening the doors that weren't there before.
Doors. I will miss the doors, too.
Oh, yes, and pralines.
