To disappear: A prosperous career

I had a young friend who leaving behind his prosperous career, decided to disappear. He moved to the mountains and became a paraglider pilot. Now he enjoys his free schedule, sky-flying in a daily basis. A strong feeling of peace I feel when I see his pictures. The same feeling as when viewing the landscape from an airplane: the Beatific Vision reminds me.

Believers enjoy the Beatific Vision in Heaven. However, Heaven and sky are not the same. When flying in an airplane, we encounter white clouds. It seems that only cotton exists there. There is no Saint Peter opening the majestic gates. There isn’t a joyful banquet party, with all my past-away relatives. There are not even visible angels.

So where is this eternal heaven we Catholics believe in??? Is it a physical place in the space-time (citing Mr. Einstein), or is it more like an eternal present state of well-being? Could these concepts be explained in few lines, in a Bible, and be suitable for both future and past generations, or any type of people from any background???

Lets leave the basic words behind and look for the underlying meaning of them. By following its message, in the right religion, we will find an answer: not the easier way, but a precious solution we can believe in.. 🙏
