But scenery without solace is meaningless." - Narrator, pg. "People think of Heaven as a paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains. Instead, humanity as a whole is a series of stories, flowing, mixing, and changing in unexpected ways. Therefore, Albom encourages his readers to see that human beings do not exist in separate compartments. Every human life affects another, sometimes in ways that are difficult to understand in the moment. The quote reveals the novel's theme of interconnectedness, which Eddie will come to embrace in his journey towards Heaven. This quote comes from the opening chapter of The Five People You Meet in Heaven, during which the narrator is counting down the remaining minutes in Eddie's life. Sometimes stories meet at corners and sometimes they cover one another completely, like stones beneath a river." - Narrator, pg.
