Building Jacob’s ladder:



I looked off into the cloudy night’s sky as the moon light dwindled through like unsung melodies made soundless by man. It was an interesting sight to see. We three huddled underneath highly strung tarp while the dangers of lightening danced in into the far distance that faded into the nearby town. I had never really been the religious type but given the recent situation and the ebbing of reemerging pain, I began to wonder about building a latter to heaven.
Could it be done if heaven was a place at all? There was a part of me that wished that heaven was a place but even more than that, a home. I can never remember home as being a physical thing. Growing up we rarely stayed in a place longer than a year. For a time we bounced from place to place running from the people who were ripped from the pages of Anne Rule’s greatest works.  Home was not a place of walls or with obscure pieces of furniture. No, it was a smell. Small, simple and possibly strange in the eyes of some but to me home could always be near if I could smell home.
Home could be my own sense of heaven if I wanted it to be. It is, as of current, my temple. A sanctuary of peace and relief. It is hallowed area that is a shelter against the pain and bewilderment that the world seemed to carry lately. Yet, the eyes, it was just another place filled with stuff. I made a mix of different scents and became successful in my pursuit.
Lavender, vanilla, linen with a hint of greenery. I had my scent. I had created my ladder to heaven.  However, gazing at the forlorn moon through its cloud ridden bars I realized that there was a ladder to heaven and it was built bar by bar. Anyone could climb it but the location was tricky. We are our own ladders. Think of it like this: we all care divinity and therefore a piece of the hereafter with ourselves. Thus, we can always find heaven if we are willing in to look within. Hell can be the opposite.  By not honoring the divinity that is within yourself, you are not honoring your creators (which ever your belief system) and therefore creating your own hell. Even worse is that those around you can  By allowing those of untrue hearts to wound you it is a causing dishonor to not only yourself but the earth energies that walk with you.
I know where heaven is and it is within myself. Building the ladder to match the goal might be another story.

By the way, have I plugged my book yet? No? here it is again!
