Take Us To Paradise Please!
Take Us To Paradise Please!
Simple, or difficult, up to you, but tell us all about the view inside your mind when you ensue picturing Paradise all around you. What does Heaven, or Valhalla, wherever it is souls go when flesh fails, look like, smell like, feel like? Holla' to us about it, all right? PREVAIL!
What happens there? Are there atoms or energy or what's the place made of; pure love? What's that made of? Is it just for special folks or do all things end up there including villains and animals and plants and does God have a throne or is God stretched out to form paradise itself having therefore no particular face to gaze upon, are there angels, is there music, what's it like, are there ponds or not, etc...
Dante gave it a go with Paradisio, and I imagine he would have faired well in this contest with it, but that's Dante, and you're you, we're we, free to be as we please to be, mostly, to imagine whatever our own hearts see, so if you'll agree, in prose, or poetry, describe Heaven to me, Nirvana, the afterlife as you see...it, even if your perspective happens to be that nothingness forever, void of thought, is all that we
are bound to eventually, as soon as Death decrees, for some may deem that perfect peace and that may be the post they release, yes, all views welcome here, but tell me all about Heaven, instead of Hell, which could be for another contest sometime, somewhere down the line, but that's the gist, so please enlist, and take us to a place of grace so far displaced from the human race and all the universe reinflates that it takes imagination and dreams to even detect hints of its true appeal, in your own words, as you perceive it to ACTUALLY be, REVEAL, and if you have no opinion on whether there is a paradisiac afterlife or not...guess ;)
my advice on who to vote for...whoever describes the afterlife you would choose if you only could choose from the afterlives presented by the writers who submit an entry for this contest...as in...they win! that's the place ill choose, the state of eternal being I'd opt for, out of this particular group of choices if I had no other choice but to choose from this particular group of options, and somehow, I knew that for a fact! Vote for that person, that entry...though you are of course free to vote for whoever for whatever reason or not vote at all, such is the nature of relative free will.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 20.00 member dollars. There are 8 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 36.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Tuesday, June 9, 2015.
