"…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)

Starting A Reflective Day
Just a quick morning entry as I am getting ready to go to work. Today is the day that I expect to here from my step-father on the scheduling for his hip surgery. Based on that, I will make my plans accordingly. My gut is tight and my inner stress level is pretty high. I am going to try to keep a tight focus and move as smoothly through the day as I can. I'll try my best to be authentically present through the day. My thoughts are also on T.R. who has carried a lot through the last years. It is going to be a reflective day.
