"…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)

All In All An Easy Day
It was an easy day today, a deliberately easy day. Work has been kind of hectic and stressful for the last couple of weeks, so, when the calendar was light today and there was kind of a natural lull I decided to take it easy through the day. First, I slept in. Then, on waking, I kind of drifted into the morning. I headed into the office and worked easy through the day. I had five or six meetings, but I moved pretty smoothly through them. Then, about mid afternoon, I flexed out. I celebrated Ash Wednesday, then headed home, make dinner, took a nap and a bath and then an easy evening with some quality time with TR, which brings me write into the minute, where I am watching the most recent episode of "True Detectives". Once again, all and all, and easy day.
