Lorien

[primsong]

I feel as if I have just stepped into or out of Lorien...which one I'm not sure.

I stopped pursuing Theme Day events for the fanclub after the last one was so slow - I had 60 people vote for it but only 5 or 6 show up to post anything...ended up talking to myself to give it a semblance of life. I thought that was the end of it, but then Lo! I was asked (nay, begged) to bring them back, and being a pushover for anything involving writing for M-e, I did - and so today and tomorrow are the Day for Lothlorien, Galadriel and Celeborn. Whether or not it "flies" will determine if it still has any life in it... so far, it is doing better than I expected, though not what I had hoped - but then, one of my faults is being an optimist. ;-)

I feel as if I am watching the slow fading of the leaves, the inevitable arrival of winter among the silver trees, wondering when we too will take ship and sail for other waters where the writers are everyoung.

If anyone cares to drop in to read, write or just play around, we would love to see you. Not a plug, just a wistful thought, like wishing you could be here with me to watch the wind in the trees tonight.

I've got at least one more thing up my sleeve, and I was just thinking of going over there. I might be able to do another found poem, if I can find a passage that speaks to me. I haven't had time to read much yet though!

I do miss the old days. I will have to go write something. I can go over now and toss up a Haiku or two. Hopefully, I will get something more substantial up tomorrow. ((((Prim)))). You are the best.

I miss the boards with a nagging guilt that there is something more important I should be doing than all the endless work and worry. Though I admit I feel thin...like butter scraped over too much bread.

But if by my presence I can be one more tiny spark to help keep the home fires burning brightly, then I must find the time for what is most important. The knowledge that the boards are there is a great comfort to me, so I shall endeavor to do my part with more diligence.

In any event you tweaked my muse. (((Prim)))

sigh....it's true isn't it? It's really funny to me how our fandom and these movies have folled a bit of a similar path as the movies/books themselves. Not to over analyse it or anything, but we started out barely knowing one another and coming from vastly different beliefs and backgrounds, but we became a fellowship. We saw our quest through and now I fear you are right.

::sigh::

One thing I know for sure though and that is the experience and the way it all changed me will never ever be forgotten.
