sometimes, i find something that i wasn't expecting, and it's amazing

"...it turns out heaven is a junk shop, a vast sweet-smelling place where God keeps all his broken things. There you can find all sorts of things lying next to each other- lost violins and Shakespeare's not-so-great plays. Bad artists and good politicians. Busted dog collars and tangled jump ropes. Confused philosophers and chipped coffee cups. Perfect in its way- broken beauty everywhere..." Pretty Little Mistakes, by Heather McElhatton

i'm not sure why, but i think this is the most amazing and perfect description of the concept of 'heaven' that i've ever read. i like it better than fluffy clouds and harps, anyway.
