Well, after realizing that I hadn't written anything for over a month now, I decided I ought to take some time and express some of the feelings I have had recently about life.
I felt impressed yesterday that within every human soul is a longing for our Heavenly Home. Even to the atheist, there is inevitably a longing for something deep within, something that the world cannot give or take away. It is this longing which governs our thoughts, our actions, and our greatest desires. In this life, there seems to be moments in which we become better acquainted with that which we are longing for. They are moments when the divine is within reach, and we realize that we are not feeling something new, but remembering that which we always knew. Even before our glorious reuniting with Heavenly parents and angelic hosts, we may in awesome wonder, consider and taste of that wondrous celestial state even while abiding on a telestial earth.
Can any comprehend what it would be like for one who has been blind to suddenly gaze upon the beauty of a sunset, or to view with awesome grandeur the colors of spring? Can any begin to fathom what feelings and rapture would fill the heart of one who was once deaf and suddenly given power to hear the vibrant sounds of heavenly symphonies or to listen to the melodic sound of a bird? Yet, in seeking to comprehend the grandeur of such, we may only begin to understand what it will be like for each of us to one day return to Father's loving arms. "For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as I am known (1 Cor 13:12)." I long for home.
