Where is heaven?

Just been to the launch of the Seeds of Hope Garden on Stag Hill just behind Guildford Cathedral. The celebrity person there was the wonderful children's author Jacqueline Wilson (I am now reading one of her books for teenagers called 'Girls don't Cry) it's brilliant. Anyway the spiritual garden is a very inspiring place set up for children who have suffered some kind of loss or bereavement. I was fascinated when the Dean of the Cathedral, who did the blessing of the new garden, made a little speech about heaven not being 'up there' in the sky but within! The more I find out about Christianity the more confused I get!!! But I don't mind! I think that's probably the way it's supposed to be - easy and difficult all at the same time, like the best of things in life! Have you any thoughts about heaven, gardens or good children's authors?
