Stretching Himself as if again,
through downpress of dust
upward, soul giving way
to thread of white, that reaches
for daylight, to open as green
leaf that it is ...
Denise Levertov, Ascension

Ascensions into heaven are like falling leaves sad and happy all at the same time. Going away isn't really sad especially when your going enables a new kind of presence to be born.
Ernest Hemingway

Love your country. Your country is the land where your parents sleep, where is spoken that language in which the chosen of your heart, blushing, whispered the first word of love; it is the home that God has given you that by striving to perfect yourselves therein you may prepare to ascend to him.
Giuseppe Mazzini

At His Ascension our Lord entered Heaven, and He keeps the door open for humanity to enter.
Oswald Chambers
