Hey, I Said That!

OK, it's 12am.
Got home late, put on the Cobert Report.
He interviewed Lisa Millar, religion editor of Newsweek magazine and author of the just released book, "Heaven."
Cobert asks, "What's the best version we have of heaven?"
And she goes on to say Dante's Paradiso from the Divine Comedy.

If you listened to my messages from the last three weeks at Connections you might remember my saying the same thing!
Which makes me feel two things:
One, confirmation that I'm not an idiot, and that Paradiso is in fact the most beautiful rendering of the images in Revelation.
Second, that feeling of having said something you think is really profound, then someone more famous says it, and you feel like they stole your idea.  Which really is ridiculous.

But the truth is, we both observed the same thing.
Which is cool, and reassuring.
That's all.  Good night.
