"…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)

Sunset On Fire
There is a big fire in the mountains to the west of us, near Felton, CA. The wind is blowing off the Pacific - and this is the sun a few minutes ago. Nature is pretty damn impressive.
