Tsunagateru Sayonara 10/23

http://lifeartmastery.com http://dailydance.net The final goodbye with Oba-chan...the matriarch of the Baba family home where I stay when in Tokyo. There is great love, gratitude and sense of finality...this may be the last time we see one another....gramma is 96, maureen lives in USA and has no set plans to return. We find this scarf to represent the connecting ("tsunegateru" in Japanese) web and ocean that lays between us always. Gramma gifts Momo the scarf at the end of the dance. Bye Bye dear Obachan...thank you and ALL the BABA FAMILY for their incredible generous hospitality. I LoVE U. Music is traditional Japanese Folk Song called "Natsu no Ko (Summertime Child)"
