"…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)

Daily Life: Anticipating Saturday
Our skies are gray here with a chance of rain. I've got an incidentally busy day ahead of me today - a trip to pick up a lathe, a class, some time with friends. I am looking forward to it. Sometimes, when a day has a certain fullness, then life has a certain fullness.
