When we receive the Eucharist there is a soul sized tunnel that leads to the other side of the veil, which connects us to the shadowed realities. So although our physical senses cannot perceive it we are tasting heaven.
Our tongues taste bread, but our souls taste heaven. The more in-tune we are with our souls the more we will perceive the shadows of heaven veiled by earth.
Those of us who want to see heaven expect God to take us up high into some alternate reality. What we don't realize, as the we search the skies for a sign, is that God has already come down to earth and he is inviting us to dig down into the earthly realm, deep enough into our own bodies to our souls, to find the spiritual seeds of his Kingdom, the kingdom of Heaven.
If only we recognized how many seeds lay below the soil of our earthly existence we would excavate our earthly experiences, we would search the caverns of soul, everyday and be in complete awe of how present God's grace is in our lives and as Benedict XVI says, "God's grace is God himself".
