Going Into The Light!
This is my rendition of the stairway to heaven, when we go toward the light. In my mind it is this brilliant light filled with the colors of the rainbow. The dove of peace or the Holy Spirit would be waiting to show me the way and to take away any fear. I am not afraid of dying, in fact, I think that it will be the positive experience to far out weigh any positive experience that I have ever had, other than my birth.
Thanks for viewing and don’t be afraid to add your own comments and ideas of “Going Toward The Light”
Origonal background stair image taken at Barr Falls, Prospect, Oregon
In Photoshop, I created the light rays and then the rainbow effect, the dove was added as a composite

Wonderful work and very positive. I have always said that I am not afraid of death. It does however get harder to convince my brain that my body just can’t handle what it could 20 years ago!!!! My brain keeps telling me I can do stuff like stay up late, hike 20 miles, or dance all night long with no reprocutions! Silly brain!!!
Diane Schuster replied
They say that you can only do what you think you can and that you are only as old as you think you are, I’m not sure who said all of that but I think that they are a lier! lol! Thanks for your comments, MountainHawk! I appreciate your visit! Dee
