"…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)

Catch-Up
My writing output in June has been slim. The month has flown by. Work has been insane and in the middle of the insanity I flew back to SD for a short vacation, so I have not had the time or the inclination to write extensively. However, I decided that tonight I would take a spot of time, perhaps a half hour or so, and do some writing catch up. Rather than drop in all a single entry I am going to do a series of small entries to try and cover the sweep of life. So, enjoy the sweep.
