"…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)

Sharing: The Aspen Ideas Festival
I was driving home last night and they were talking about the Aspen Ideas Festival on NPR (KQED). They have some good video clips and articles here - if this type of thing is what you enjoy, I thought I would share it.
