"…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)

Poetry: Refuse
Refuse Refuse to follow custom Refuse to obey Refuse to follow rules Refuse to comply Refuse to wait your turn Refuse to surrender Refuse to let go Refuse to listen Refuse to be less Than you Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
