Heaven is as close or as far as you believe it to be. Heaven isn’t something physical that can be looked up on a map, rather it is an idea. A version of heaven exists as part of most religious systems of belief. In Christian tradition, it is often implied that heaven is a place in the sky. Much religious art portrays heaven in clouds.

“Heaven is so far of the Mind
That were the Mind dissolved—
The Site—of it—by Architect
Could not again be proved—

‘Tis vast—as our Capacity—
As fair—as our idea—
To Him of adequate desire
No further ’tis, than Here—”

-Emily Dickinson
