The Treasure


A: Is our not knowing Hell?

B: But I do know.

A: What do you know?

B: That all things are of God.

A: Are you in Heaven?

B: No. I am on (H)eartH, Heaven is above us.

A: Isn't Heaven where you believe it to be and not where you know it to be?

B: This is more like Hell.

A: It is if we believe it is.

B: Everything is agony that isn't with God in Heaven.

A: Then believe that you are with God in Heaven as it is on (H)eartH.

B: Plagiarist!

A: Ha!

B: Heaven's gotta be better than this.

A: Why?

B: The (H)eartH is where we've been sent to learn of God.

A: And what have we learned of the (H)eartH?

B: It's not flat.

A: Is that it?

B: It's temporary.

A: Doesn't it provide us everything we need without asking for anything in return?

A: God gives us all we need.

A: Then we should cherish Home as if it were the Heart(H) of God's Creation.

B: If you want God to strike you down you'll worship the (H)eartH.

A: Why would God strike me down for cherishing the one thing I can possibly know?

B: Because you are bowing to that which is not God.

A: Yet, it is created by God, it is of God.

B: Yes. All things are.

A: Then Heaven is where God's Heart(H) is.

B: Yes.

A: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Mathew 6:21.

B: I'm surprised that you know a bible verse.

A: I'm surprised you don't know where the treasure is.

FAULT METER

FAULT METER    When you get a question wrong you will hear three loud beeps followed by an even louder ticking of a clock.    (Like tick-tick-tick-tick-tick?)    You are half right.    (Like tock-tock-tock-tock-tock?)    You got two halves of it.    (Then I give up!)    You do?    (It ain’t out of weakness, it’s my adhdad.) I understand.    (You understand what?)    That it’s not out of any weakness on your part.    (Weakness, on my part in what?)    Never mind, it’s definitely adhdad.     •    We float, we fly, we soar! We find our wings in each other. We find friends, cousins of the one seed of existence. An existence which never began, but always was, that loves us enough to provide life’s needs, our own, the same. A collection of living peacekeepers upon the surface of the most heavenly example known to them. • © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

Per Plex Ed

            PER+PLEX-ED When you haven’t heard the truth in so long, when you do, it rings a most familiar s ong. That’s the human song, the truth rolling out exactly when it should.      (If a truth is told and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound only to the one that spoke it?)    Yes, but our ears aren’t strong enough to hear it.     [a perplexed silence] © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
