So close to the sky and so far away from the people. **Ironic, isn't it?!** 

The thing is, God lives inside all of us. We all have a piece of heaven within ourselves. Does that make us a walking church? 

___Are you closer to the sky and far away from the people? Or are you closer to both?___

This reminds me of Khalil Gibran's quote: “Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.”

>So close to the sky and so far away from the people

Sounds like a pretty accurate description of organized religion to me.  I would say I'm closer to the earth than I am the sky or people (and I don't mean that in the literal sense) although people come in a close second.

Religion divide. I love God but I don't like religion. I think we get closer to the sky by having our feet on the ground, by helping people, by being true to ourselves.
