A Little Piece of Heaven

Could you find it in the mundane things of daily life?

There are times when the comfort of our daily lives make us numb. Modern technology gave us almost everything in an instant, but it failed to give us what our hearts are craving for.

As the humanity of our souls are sucked each day, could we ever find what we are looking for?

I urge you to look more closely, for it is there, streaking through the thick fog, making its way through the darkness.

You hurry off to work unable to take a single bite of breakfast. You arrive at your office. You see what’s on top of your table. Coffee and croissant along with a sweet note from a friend. You savor the strong aroma of java, and you take a good sip.

Not much for a TV commercial, but enough to catch the first glimpse of sunlight of your day.

A little piece of heaven.

On your way home you went through a terrible traffic jam. Then right there at your doorstep, your two-year old child opens up her arms and hugs you.

You feel her tiny fingers holding on unto you. She kisses you. Numerous little kisses that take away all your exhaustion.

A little piece of heaven.

The city lay in flood and ruins. In a few moments, children emerge from their houses.

They proudly carry the paper boats they’ve just made. No flood could dampen their spirits, no storm could darken the light in their eyes. You hear their laughter. You get infected with their joy.

A little piece of heaven.

The young scavenger still has to search heaps of garbage before she could buy anything to eat. Something unexpectedly catches her eyes.

A soiled doll with blue eyes and a missing leg. She smiles for her good fortune. She’s just found a gift for her little sister’s birthday!

A little piece of heaven.
