joined in heaven by TowelMaster. "At my request you take me in, in that tenderness I am floating away, no certainty, nothing to rely on, holding still for a moment. What a moment this is, Oh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss."

"This old familiar craving I've been here before This way of behaving Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore" @

This heaven seems a little empty!

yes, well, you are the first to arrive, Lethe. we can expect more and more each day. see, all the animals are here, and plants. it's not really empty. we just need more people. TowelMaster is here, somewhere. and Katsy, Tigger, Peta, Keeza, anonymouse. there are actually lots of people here. it's just a very big place. and, we haven't had time to organise a welcoming committee, yet.@

Thanks for that Alicat I have just been visited by the ACES...they sure are a great team of welcomers! Funny though, I thought that TowelMaster was with shazz! I have seen quite a lot about their romance here and there.
Lethe

you're perfectly correct, Lethe, Shazz is here with TowelMaster. everything, i mean everything is here. this is, after all, Heaven. what is it you are looking for? love?, money?, animals?...!@ you're, like, 4th in line. you know, Lethe, you can have everything. riches, beauty, anything...@

Beauty I have...it is in the eye of my beholder...riches I have...in the love of my man...animals surround me and morn with me when I am apart from my love...and music sustains me when I need nourishment.
What I need is peace... to still my pounding heart and calm me while I dream and wait for the time when my love and I can be together for ever.That time draws close...very close...but sleep eludes me,appetite deserts me,and my poetry turns melancholy in the intervening hours.Time takes me by the hand and drags me too slowly
towards my paradise.

time can be your ally in heaven. if it moves too slowly, it is because you are occupying your time doing things you don't want, or like, doing. pain or pleasure? it's your choice. you are very poetic. we need people with your sensitivity here, in heaven. don't spend another minute in your hell. stay with us. time will pas faster, you will find peace, and soon your love will join you.@

You could be right...but the day is my friend.It saves me from the lonliness of the night.Yet...the silver of the moon and the myriad colours in the stars can be the most beautiful sight in the universe...but they dim and fade on me and rob me of sleep,rob me of peace,rob me of sanity.But how I welcome them in that they are eternal,as my love and I are,and they will always be there even though the clouds rob me of their light!

your pets can help you at night. their sleep can give you rest. their understanding can give you peace.@

I have no pets!

then use the wild birds you see. the squirrels, any animal. they are the catalysts. they can help you.@

A concrete jungle
A wall of brick
Impenetrable
Thick!

Lethe, you are not alone. come, use my animals for strength and peace. they will sleep for you, and search for you, for the perfect song. they will find your peace.@

My song is nearly ready
It calls to me
It whispers in my ear
Then shouts at me

My song is all but sung now
It comforts me
It sings with joyous voice
He comes to me!

My song has gone!
Where is it?
Do you have it Alicat?
I am in despair!

Has heaven moved?
It is not here!

yes, this is still heaven. your song must still be here. i'll help you look for it. the whole universe is on pause until they hear your words. we have found God. He will help you, too. don't worry, Lethe. your song cannot leave Heaven.@

That's reassuring to hear!

Lethe, Ican hear your song. It wafts sweetly from everything around me. I am bathed in it's beauty. It is perfect.@
