“Holding the Twig ‘Just-So'”
Photograph by John Diamond, M.D.
Holding the twig
“just-so.”
The Japanese is sono-mama* which naturally I particularly like because of the mama.
Also sono leads me to think of sonic, of sound.
So, to me, sono-mama is the sound of mother’s lullaby.
Holding the twig
“just-so”
I hear her lullaby.
* I am informed by my dear friend, my otouto-san, Hakushin Suzuki.
