The Chris Chandler Show

Afterlife

There is a light that wakes us up, and gets us out of bed us out of bed each day. 



It is not the blue neon of digital clocks announcing a central point in a specific time zone.

Nor the orange ball breaking the horizon, creating the very time zones of day and night. 



Though it does create its own time zones. 

Here. Now. Back then.... and tomorrow. 



The light of life creates and crosses each of those horizons. 



There are those that believe in an afterlife. I am one of those. 



But after life is as complex as the soap operas of our daily lives, 


as simple as human history itself,

as misunderstood as a the pearly gates,

as over interpreted as the river Styx. 



After life is simply that: After Life. 



The life that we leave here on earth – after life. 

It is the life we leave - the world we have helped create 
for those after our own life has left us. 



You have left for us is a perfect heaven 
through the light you have shown. 



That is that light that gets us out of bed each day… 



…may we continue to shine your light - right here - in the heaven that you have created

so that others may feel it - right here

- in the after life –

forever.
