This is not heaven. I suspect it’s not even closely modeled on heaven, though I’ve no way of knowing. Heaven may not even exist. But if it does exist it will have at least one thing in common with this scene. Heaven will contain glass jars filled with soft, subtle light.
You may argue that the light in this scene doesn’t come from the glass jar. You may argue the light comes, in fact, from outside the window. You may even argue that the quality of the light has more do to with the angle of the sun and the level of condensation on the window. And I will concede that everything you say is logical and sound. But what has logic to do with heaven?
In heaven, there will be no difference between logic and beauty. In heaven there will be glass jars filled with soft, subtle light. You will be able to open those jars and let the light winnow out wherever you want, then return the jars for recycling. In heaven, that will be profoundly logical.
But this is not heaven. This is only beautiful.
