Quote by John Burroughs

The Kingdom of Heaven is not a place, but a state of mind.

The Kingdom of Heaven is not a place, but a state of mind.

Summary

This quote suggests that the idea of the Kingdom of Heaven should not be understood as a physical location, but rather as a psychological state. It implies that achieving true harmony, peace, and happiness does not depend on external circumstances, but rather on the way one perceives and approaches life. In this interpretation, the Kingdom of Heaven is a subjective experience that can be attained by cultivating a positive and enlightened mindset, regardless of one's surroundings or earthly possessions.

Often, I look out the window and wait. I see her as she comes and goes, to visit with everyone-it seems but me. I know that sometimes I'm not as friendly as I should be.

I need a friend.
