Quote by Henry David Thoreau

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.

Summary

This quote implies that heaven, or a sense of peace and bliss, can be found not only in a spiritual realm above us but also in our day-to-day lives, right here on earth. It suggests that we have the power and capacity to create our own heaven on earth by recognizing and appreciating the beauty, wonder, and happiness that exists in the world around us. It encourages us to find joy and contentment in the present moment instead of searching for it in distant places or future circumstances. Heaven is therefore not solely a distant, unachievable concept, but a tangible and accessible experience that is within our reach.

The black bird cocked its head to one side, and then said, in a voice like stones being struck, 'You shadow man.'I'm Shadow,' said Shadow. The bird hopped up onto the fawn's rump, raised its head, ruffled its crown and neck feathers. It was enormous and its eyes were black beads.

What I'm trying to say is I don't want mysteries.'Mysteries,' agreed the bird helpfully.What I want is explanations. Jackal in Kay-ro. This does not help me. It's a line from a bad spy thriller.
