But are the angels so heavy footed and so heavy walking as to be able to leave such footprints?" > > Probably, yes, to judge from C. S. Lewis, /The Great Divorce/, in which he describes the density of the reality of Heaven where the grass is as green & sharp as emeralds, and souls are to us as we are to ghosts.
