hmm, somehow similar to William Blake. 😉 well, I’m not sure whether you speak German (just seeing on the left “ich liebe dich”), so here’s (http://www.bienlein-kommunikation.de/content/ein-freier-platz-der-hölle) a short story once a pal sent me. maybe you understand. I couldn’t find an English version. anyways, it’s also similar to your thought. 🙂 to give a summary: there’s only one last place left in hell to cast, but a lot of people are queuing. the devil likes to cast the last place to some really bad guy, but cannot find anyone. until he meets one who did absolutely… nothing. just watching.
Little bit harsh Coco. People are often dull for a reason, and might hope that a poet could show some understanding of the reasons that make people dull, or the insight that could help them feel less dull in themselves, rather than consigning them to “hell”.
as they say, nothing is worse than being “ordinary”, but that is in the eye of the beholder.

I agree… Publish Coco’s blog outside heaven or hell to convert them into bright 🙂

ironically – to be dull makes for great writing of such people 🙂

But maybe a trip through heaven and hell could give the dull person some fresh perspectives and make ’em more interesting 😉

Interesting thought. Ordinary seems rather nebulous to me, and when applied to human beings, it becomes a relativity.
It’s strange to think in all our machinations and biological complexity, to consider a man or woman,
Rather ordinary.
Perhaps it is not they that are boring but our self?
Making things mundane through over familiarity.

I really like the fabric of this shot; especially the detail of the cat. He seems to be an expression of her soul.
