Taste of Heaven

“What’s that smell? It’s delicious.”
“She is cooking. Would you like to taste some of this?”

“Wow. You never told me about her before?”
“I am sorry, Eve. I found her sometime back.”

“Found her? When did you loose her?”
“Umm….Actually, she has always been around. Like a large,white,soft and fluffy cloud. Always hovering over my head. Trying to protect me from the harsh sun. When she is overwhelmed, she drenches me with rain, when she is proud, she hides behind a rainbow and smiles. Many a times, she would scare me with her thundering noise. But I still never noticed her all these years.”

“That’s strange. How could you not?”
“The way a fish doesn’t see water. Sometimes, we don’t see people who are very close to us.”

“Hmmm….I know what you are saying? So, how do you plan to make up for your self centered behaviour ?”
“Well…I notice her now. I think about her often. I couldn't find a word to thank her.
Do you know, she carries a part of heaven with her always. Her eyes have a heavenly sparkle, and her touch feels like heaven too. It’s full of love, tenderness and perfection. And she cooks like heaven too. God told me they used to be best friends.”

“Hmmm..no wonder. I wish I had met her before as well.”
“It's not too late, Eve.

Hey! I just realized that you look like her.”
“I know. You look like her too.”

“ I want to tell God to make me her mirror image.”
“Good idea. Let’s speak to Him together.”
