Woman’s Idea Of Heaven
“Let me, in Heaven, have a new-born baby in my arms, for I have neither experienced, nor can imagine, any greater joy than this. To be needed and to be totally committed to fulfilling that need. To love yet require no gestures of reciprocation. What happier place in hurrying time (.oiild one choose to stop for eternity than this moment when duty and selfindulgence are completely fused, and the glory of the present is still uncorrupted by hopes for the future. ‘Look for me,’ said the great mystic Francis Thompson, ‘in the nurseries of Heaven.’ Look for me there too.”— Sally Thompson speaking of 8.8. C. broadcast.
