What does heaven mean to you?

From 52 Figments for 2/5/06

This is a tough question for me. I've always had issues with my spirituality, and I don't have a firm vision of heaven. When I was little I didn't believe in god, or any other religious dogma. I do believe in something now, but I'm sure it's not the mainstream belief. Heaven could be a place or a state of mind. The Buddhists consider achieving Nirvana to be a form of heaven. I watched that Barbara Walters special a while back on heaven, and that really didn't help my thinking either. Some people have such a rigid idea of what religion and heaven is, and that bothers me.

Heaven is a state of perpetual bliss, I don't know if it's a mental place or a physical place.
