I spent most of the day thinking about minimalism. I am not sure where I am going with it, but I am running through in my mind the need to once again sweep through my apartment and through things away. The place still has “stuff” I simply never use – even though it is nice and functional, I simply never use it. It occupies space. It is “stuff”. It has weight and I want to be light.
"…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)
