Emptiness

Empty nest.

I guess you're just going to have to chair another convention!

Or I could just embrace the emptiness. Feels kind of peaceful, actually.

I've had a hard time getting going on anything else.

I keep thinking, well, one more day off. hah!

Better get to it. ;(

(that's sadder than I really feel.;>)

I've experienced post-convention blues before, but this is the first time I've experienced them from the point of view of someone who worked on the convention. It's probably a good thing I'm headed away for a while. Talk about taking another day off! How about nine in a row?

There were some who stayed a couple extra days (including Snotnose), but I was too exhausted to hang out with them at that point. I believe they're all gone now.

Damn, I think you're on to something! I've been wondering what in heck to do with all this emptiness in my life, maybe you've found the answer.

Praise emptiness.
Her rose-colored dress.
Her circling motions.
Praise emptiness.

And as you cross the wilderness
spinning in your emptiness,
you feel you have to pray --
looking for a sign that the Universal Mind
has written you into the Passion Play.

Wow, deja vu! I think we've sung this duet before.
