"…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)

Simply Avoid Writing About Work
I am still trapped in this place where I am spending too much time writing about work. I am trying to break out of the habit, but I seem to be struggling with it. I think it is because, at the end of the day, writing about work is easy and superficial. It effectively prevents me from writing about the deeper things that are happening in my life. I think I am going to have to meditate on that for a while. And, perhaps, simply avoid writing about work.
