"…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)

Some Days
Some days are just good. I started mine with a dear friend of mine telling me a funny story and that set the mood for a very good day that is ending now. I am off to wander the Dreaming World.
