Rod's Floating World

"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

The Hour

The evening passed far to quickly and I lost track of time, engaged in incidental things, until I glanced at the clock and realized the hour. Now, as I curl up for the evening I have paused long enough, just long enough, to think - do we ever realize the hour? Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
