"…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)

A Hot Night
It was a hot night here in San Jose and it took me a while to drop off to sleep. Once I went though I slept fairly deeply and soundly. I dreamt of a woman in a red silk dress. I dreamt a friend of mine told me my door was open, laughingly. I dreamt of series of four digit numbers. Today is the last day of work and then I slide into a four day weekend I am looking forward to. Right now I am just kind of lingering, watching the sun rise, listening to birds singing over the hum of the fan. Sent via BlackBerry by AT
