Surfing in Heaven

There are moment's in my life where I feel a sudden and incredible wave of energy—and 'wave' seems the appropriate word as I feel lifted before ultimately the energy dissipates. Small waves can be triggered by caffeine though they usually end unnaturally as my body feels compelled to move even after it's grown tired. The best waves arrive with no discernible causes. They can last minutes or even weeks where I feel energetic and inspired. During these moments I get the distinct impression that there is something terribly wrong with me the rest of the time, when I'm at 'sea level'.

As a productive, hard-working type—or so I like to think, anyway—I don't notice the fog of lethargy until I'm lifted above it. The whole world seems to be covered in it. Even the busier parts. Though I believe sleep will be a delightful and integral part of heaven, I also think the cloud of lethargy will be gone forever and we will be amazed that we ever accomplished anything at all.

I would really enjoy reading more of your thoughts on this intriguing idea of sleep in Heaven, Sean.

Please keep writing. This is solid stuff.
