What is your idea of heaven?

Heaven suggests a vague floating warm comforting loving easy friendly realisation that the Hope had been thr predictor, not the despair 

I could get into a theological discussion here but I really don’t think that’s the tone of this question. So here’s my silly nonserious answer. I think my Heaven probably looks something like this! :p

Mine would be an isolated single storey stone cottage in the countryside. Preferably miles away from the nearest neighbours but within reach of shops within a 30 minutes drive. It would need to have internet connectivity, so I am not completely cut off from the world.

The garden would be a haven for wild birds and wildlife would abound in the fields and hills surrounding the cottage. The only noise would be the sounds of nature, the birdsong, the wind rustling in the trees, owls hooting at night.

There would be no crime. People would be respectful and considerate towards each other. Most importantly they would also be respectful and considerate towards nature. Humans would no longer exploit animals in the way they do now. They would not shoot birds for sport or allow any cruelty towards any animal.

I would spend my days going for long walks and interacting with nature. There would be a beautiful green shimmering lake within walking distance, some where I could go to watch the ever changing reflections on the water.

I hope that you do too

It sounds like a lot of our desires are the same: A safe place to live, solitude but some company on OUR terms, nature, animals, peace and quiet. Bliss.

Just simply being content

What would heaven be... Lush and vibrant trees swaying gently in a gentle breeze alongside a tranquil sea. Dogs I have loved would be there, playing joyfully on sandy shores. I would no longer be hearing impaired- I would  hear everything - the sounds of the waves breaking on the shore, the breeze whispering through the trees, the happy barking of my dogs, the song of the many birds flying overhead... At night, the sky is adorned with a tapestry of stars that glimmer and dance, while the warm sunshine during the day bathes everything in a comforting glow. And when the gentle rain falls, it brings a sense of renewal and peace, nourishing the land...

If I had a home, it would be an old, stone-built cottage, with open fires and and a beautiful garden... people now gone would be there and we would spend the evenings in happy company... 

I like the thought of a heaven like that..

NAS79256 this is such a beautiful heaven 

I'm super lucky. I have a house, one level, detached overlooking the valley. It's rural enough to be hard to find but close enough to local shops. My house sits between a huge river and the sea (5 minutes each way) and I have pear trees, plum trees, Hazel nut trees and even a lemon tree.

The woodpeckers, blue ***, Robins and greenfinch visit us daily through the Summer, as do the hedgehogs, pheasants and field mice and during the winter the wind blows up frothy amazing waves that I like to watch.

My heaven would be that I could engage more with my husband and sit hand in hand on the terrace watching the clouds or have him look deep into my eyes and tell me that he loves me but i have to learn that this might not be possible if he is diagnosed.

A diagnosis would be nice though so that at least we know where to start. At least even if he struggles to understand my needs, maybe I can learn to understand his.

I hope you all manage to achieve at least a little bit of your heaven whilst on earth

For me it would be to live in a little cottage in the countryside somewhere very quiet and peaceful. There would be no traffic as I would live down the end of a long track that did not go anywhere beyond my house. I would never have to listen to engine noises and no planes would fly overhead either. I would have lots of land where I could walk safely knowing that I didn't have to see any strangers or people who were unfriendly or dangerous. There would be no roads or fences and nothing ugly that humans had made. There would be forests and lots of trees, there would be a stream with water so clean and fresh it was always safe to drink, maybe a little waterfall with a pool where it was deep enough to swim. The sea would be in the distance but I could reach it in the shade of the forest that went all the way down to the shoreline. There would be a mountain or big hill that I climb up to see in all directions. The trees would be full of birds and there would be squirrels and deer and none of the wild animals would run away when they saw me coming. There would be no air pollution, it would be clean and sweet and fresh and the soil would be healthy and grow fresh fruits and vegetables. There would be fruit trees and nut trees too. I would have enough land and space to rescue as many animals that needed a home as I wanted, and all the animals would get on well and peacefully with another. If an animal became unwell I could get a vet that I trusted and I would always be able to afford to pay the vets bills, and the vet would always know the best and right thing to do to help the animal and never cause it any unnecessary pain or suffering. I wouldn't be afraid of UV light as in my heaven it would not give you skin cancer, so I could spend lots of time outside without being covered up or having to wear a hat all the time. I wouldn't be afraid of dying and of the few people in my life dying. I would live with someone who liked me and understood me and who never got angry or frustrated, someone who I could always trust to be friendly and who would help me when I needed help and someone who could also love the animals and birds and trees, someone to share the beauty and peace with. That person would not grow old or sick or die and I wouldn't have to worry about them getting impatient or bored with me and leaving to go and live with someone else. I wouldn't suffer from anxiety and constant worrying every minute of the day, I would be happy and free and not full of guilt and fears. Also, the downstairs floor of my cottage would be tiles so that when chickens and other animals came inside it would be easy to clean the floor, but upstairs it would have a carpet and be a cosy safe space that I could go to relax and read/write/sew. There would be enough time in every day to do all the things I would like to do, like going for long walks with my dogs, gathering firewood and fruits and nuts from the forest, and tending to all the rescued animals. I wouldn't be exhausted all the time. When I did meet people they would all be quiet, gentle, caring, thoughtful and friendly, they would smile and wave and say hello but I wouldn't feel disturbed by interacting with them. I wouldn't feel bad about myself. At night it would be perfectly dark and perfectly quiet, apart from the occasional hooting of the owls, and I would lie in bed looking out through my open window, listening to the faint sound of a gentle breeze in the trees and the stream, and looking up at all the stars, and my soul would feel alive again.

My heaven is a villa in the mountains of Tuscany, I’ve stayed there for quite a few times and love the solitude of the area and would love a workshop with a classic car project for the winter months. A log burner is nice and watching the flames are mesmerising. A Piaggio Ape pickup would be my mode of transportation.

i dunno.... but freedom would be key. no demands, no one over you, no requirements, no stress or trouble.
perhaps be the god of your own realm, to shape it however you see fit. but also to not be lonely, so you can still perhaps go to a shared realm to see others when you need to satisfy your natural desire for others.

i once had a dream, my dream world is like my own realm, it had others but the others i knew were fake and manifestations of my own mind so that woke me up as i didnt want that eternally, i want others, real others, from time to time. 

A house right next river to no neighbors close
forest animals close calm relax time think to 
place where play is okay and be myself al day
I make friend with bird an animals
ben throh too much just calm place want

Autopia! (A perfect world for us autistics)

Sitting on a clifftop staring out to sea with not another person or man-made artefact within five miles of me. It's a sunny but cool day, and the only sounds are the waves below, a gentle breeze, and the calls of seabirds as they swoop and dive around me. Then as I look out across the water a dolphin breaches multiple times.

Grimgar.. being amongst genuine companions, basically family.. always having something meaningful to fight for.. always having little-things to enjoy.. funny-things to laugh for with others and sad-times to contrast the happy with.. being wanted and wanting.. fey forests, old-buildings, quiet-places, campfires, bunk-beds, clear-starry nights.. crisp and fresh mornings, the odd bit of luck, sunny whilst it’s raining.. to have more-than average amounts of mindfulness..

Peace and lovely warm feeling 

I think it would be a house, that I own, that is all level living, open plan, cool tile floors. In a climate that is warm but not hot hot. A fantastic kitchen...opening to a lovely shaded outside lounge area, pool and garden. I would rescue sick or old dogs and we'd all live together. Maybe some horses too. I wouldn't have any financial worries. My family would all live close so I could see them all the time. My property would have a big, secure fence and I would feel really safe. I wouldn't have to work (because I'd have all the money I need) so I'd spend all day in the pool, grooming horses, listening to music, caring for my dogs. I'd never have to think about what to eat because someone would make fresh, nutritious meals for me 3 times a day. I wouldn't have any mental illness, I would be happy and content and relaxed all the time.

There would be a kitchen garden that produces amazing vegetables and fruits all year and there would be a grounds keeper who minds it all.

I would be able to sleep peacefully, every night. I'd never have to wake up to an alarm. I'd never have to clean anything or do laundry (there would be a housekeeper who I would be very friendly with).

In this heaven spiders and intruders don't exist. 

My body would be strong and slim and beautiful and everything would work perfectly.

Outside of the walls of my property, there would be fairness and equality and people would be happy. 

This is my heaven.
