Eyes Closed

[thegoogly]

When I was little I used to think I could see Heaven when I closed my eyes. I don't mean with like my mind's eye. I thought the visual information received by my closed eyes was Heaven. You know. Where God lives. I translated this is information into the Heaven I'd seen in a picture book, a kind of yellow pueblo style Heaven

I think that's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

How incredibly sad.

Not at all. Children have such great ideas about the way things work, before we grow up and have to deal with things like the better of two bad choices. It's a lot of why I like being around little kids.

I had the same experience but I thought I could see ghosts. I would lie in my room for hours before falling asleep, watching my ghosts.

I forget what my little kid logic to that was. I think I just read too many books about ghosts and paralell universes and things. I was a weird kid.
