Paradise. What does that word mean to us? Something supernatural? Something beyond the physical, made of pure essence? Something no living soul has ever truly seen? Something metaphysical? Religious? Divine?
Or could it be something quite tangible? Something close, right here and now? Something that, for a person, meant more than anything that came after? Something that made the heart race faster. Something that pushed you to be better, kinder, wiser?
Maybe it’s the memory of sweet childhood years? Maybe it’s the first rays of adulthood? Maybe it’s the old, comforting family home? So, what really is paradise?
