"…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)

Finding My Way To Sleep
I was in bed early last night and I am tempted to head there again tonight. Last night I curled up a little after 7:00 PM with "Leviathan Wakes", intending to read myself to sleep and I was very successful/ I managed to read a paragraph or two before I curled up and called it a night. I've been blaming allergies mostly, but I have been feeling the need to sleep a little more than usual and when I have followed that lead it has been a deep and successful sleep. So, that is, once again, my half-way plan for the evening. I might tinker around the house a bit more, but then it is curling up with a book and finding my way to sleep.
