Bear Heaven

A Trail of Tears - Animal Style Tale

Debbie Dunn
The interview continues with Sorrow Bear, the mother bear who died due to the strip-mining at Shumate Hollow, WV. She now resides in the outskirts of Bear Heaven.

Debbie: Sorrow Bear, are there only Bears living in Bear Heaven?

Sorrow Bear: You ask if there are only bears living in Bear Heaven. My answer is yes; after all, this is Heaven and not the other place you people like to call Hell. However, one bear passed through who had died after he got too old to work in the circus any longer. He told me that he had formed a special relationship with a monkey who had died before he did. So he intended to travel to the portion of Heaven where bears and monkeys and other animal forms co-habitate together in harmony.

Now I hear your silent question about are there all kinds of Heavens up here. I'm beginning to think that is true. For another bear passed through who also got too old to work in the circus any longer. She too died from the cruel and neglectful hands of the group of people who she was sent to live with. However, she spoke highly of the woman who was her 'circus handler'. This woman, named Delia, had helped raise her from a cub. Delia had died a few years back. This she-bear named Daisy dearly loved and missed Delia's gentle and loving hands. So Daisy actually got word upon her arrival that Delia had a home just waiting for her.

For me, since I died at the hands of those bull-dozing men, I want no part of spending eternity in the company of men. That would feel like a form of torture. As for Daisy, living once again with the human she loved, that feels like Heaven to her.

So I guess, to wrap up your question, Heaven must be different for each animal and each human.

By the way, I just checked with Martyr Bear and Holy Bear. They don't want to spend eternity with humans either.

Please note: In case you haven't read Sorrow Bear's 1st story (a link is included at the bottom of this article), Martyr Bear died trying to save his baby cub from a hunter. The other she-bear, who calls herself Holy Bear, died from "being poked through with so many holes and other forms of torture due to animal testing."

What about you, Debbie? What would you like to see and experience when you get to Heaven? In other words, who do you want to spend eternity with?

Debbie: Goodness, I haven't really spent too much time considering that question. I know I want to see as much of God as I am capable of seeing. I want to meet Jesus. I also want to spend time with my angels and spirit guides who have helped me so much in this life. I want to see my loved ones who have already passed. I want to see the ones I love who have yet to pass. I want to meet up again with the pets I had as a child. I want to spend time talking with and learning from other like-minded souls, having fun adventures and experiences together that help me grow and expand with that Christ Consciousness.

What about you readers? Who would you like to spend eternity with? Please comment below.
