There were giant raindrops this morning. Those great big ones that fall heavily and splatter in all directions when they hit anything. It was cold but beautiful storm. I am blinking my way into Monday morning here, having already resorted to a second giant cup of coffee trying to find some energy. I am not sure it is going to work. I have a pair of meetings this morning, a stack of email, and a doctor’s appointment. The way it feels, by the time I finally get mentally rolling it will be the end of the day and that will be all right with me. Some days are meant to be taken in a low gear.
"…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)
