"…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 Fifties Dream
I had a very cool and very funny dream last night. I dreamt about a whole cast of characters (people I know) in a variety of 1950's settings - like we have been transported in time - or into an episode of Leave It To Beaver. I woke up and found myself laughing at some of the images. I made a cup and coffee and fired off some email to friends who were in the dreams. Even now, on the far side of a chaotic day, I am laughing at some of the images. I will write up the best of them and add them to the journal later this evening.
