"…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)

I was the picture of a ghost.
I had a strange dream last night that is staying with me as I start my Saturday morning. I dreamt that I was the picture of a ghost. Not that I was a ghost, but that I was the picture of a ghost. I am going to have to think about that one for a while.
