"…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)

Fall
Fall
Today the morning was crisp and cool and clear and it smelled of fall.
That is a wonderful smell. I am often astounded by the power of scent
memories. Fall is rich with them. Even here in California the change
is...sensual alchemy. So, if you have a moment, pause and enjoy the
sensual alchemy of fall.
