What I hope death is.

When I was younger around 6 or 7, I was excited for death … until I saw what it looked like. I grew up in a space that often discussed the afterlife – heaven and eternity with God. The image painted of this supreme being was enough to entice a little girl to crave death. “Milk and honey would be there”, back then sounded exciting, but now I wonder – why milk and honey? I would never eat(drink?) milk and honey right now on Earth. It wouldn’t hurt to try it, perhaps I would surprise myself.
