You know what they say: “You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.” (Apologies and thanks to Joni Mitchell in Big Yellow Taxi, © Siquomb Publishing Company.)

This is certainly true for me in this instance. Wow. I was really a FAST typist! I knew this from my work as a writer and editor – and my work as a venue owner. I could type out a whole sentence in a flash and thank someone for their donation at The Castle or The Magic Tree and then, just a split-second later, welcome someone to the concert or reading. Easy!

Not. Anymore.

Well, at least not right now. I AM typing this, but It’s taking me awhile and I’m tiring. VERY FRUSTRATING. As one of the gestures (made lovingly, just for me) states:  *☆* Oh, how I want to type! I have soooo much to say! *☆* (Mireille Jenvieve-Woodford giggles!)

Anyway, thank you for continuing to come along at Ce Soir to enjoy the wonderful poetry and music provided by Poet Laureate and Artist-in-Residence at Ce Soir Arts RUSSELL EPONYM and the fantastic Chillmaster, MOSHANG ZHAO. You’ve seen The Vacation Schedule, but I’ll post it again, for convenience. We are planning a couple of surprises and a new theme-based programme for the Fall, so watch the blog for updates. Some of my lighter Words & Pictures are up in The Gallery at the moment; if you stop by, I hope you will enjoy. I’m already plotting to reveal the darker side later in the autumn.

Here’s one I really like – SLAKE. Both the photo and poem were ispired by the beautiful Hydrangea installation at the Leroy sim by Quark Fallen.

Have a wonderful week! Merci bien !

As always, be inspired…tonight!
