"…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)

Slightly Lost, Mostly Amused
I was trying to do a simple thing online tonight and ran into a small wall of frustration. So, I quit for the night and am going to unwind for a bit here and then, perhaps, curl up with a book. There are times when I feel lost. I am not really sure what that is all about. I could delve into it, but that is a piece of hard work I am not really up to tonight. So, slightly lost and mostly amused, let me call it a night and spend the night in a good book.
