Last year, because of my broken bones and the treatment of side effects in Orin, it’s been a long time to get a massage, so we were happy to be able to go to Shoko’s massage therapy studio the other day. This time, Orin had lymphatic massage from her.
She spent many years studying body structure and how to encourage the natural healing power of all of us. Well, if our body is like architecture, it means knowing the basics of the house.
She clearly taught us how the interactions of bones, muscles, tendons, blood, lymph and various body tissues support the body. Thank you, Shoko-chan. website; Shoko Akiyama NYS Licensed Massage Therapist
There is a reason why Orin likes rubber trees. He had only two art classes in college, but both were under a teacher from the Bauhaus tradition. The most memorable drawing lesson was drawing a rubber plant, teacher said “learn to really see the rubber plant.” Ever since he has had a special place in his heart for the rubber plant.
From New York to Arizona and back to the upstate of New York, Tommy was just a small rubber plant, because Bisbee/Arizona period was struck by the intense sunshine, and Tommy’s roots were burnt more than once! Orin recovered one leaf,,, However, in two years in Newburgh, instead of literally breathing back, he is now overtaking Orin.
It grew so good that we somehow named it “Tommy” to respect it. I’m wondering if we should give it more mature name, but now we’re thinking of taking action before Tommy reaches the ceiling.
We had planned to visit our musician/artist friends in NC. On 2 Nov 2021 we were booked for Orin’s and my solfeggio Hz sound video and my performance. However as we got near Harrisburg, PA, our car suddenly stoped working. Before this happened, we wanted to buy coffee and even though unnecessary refill gas, then, just as we entered into busy speedway(!!) I only tell you “We’re lucky”. At our discretion, no car was involved and there was no damage other than ours. As you see these stuffed animal, one is gorilla and another one is fox. The night before we left, I talked to them as usual (probably you may think of me like a strange person, hahaha) and told them that you must stay here and house-watching several days. OMG! Gori-san (I named this gorilla) started cry. Surely this phenomena was within my eyesight. I could see these vision within my mind. Why you’re crying, Gori? and he replied because I will never see you again. Mmmmmmm, he felt lonely? so I put them into my bag.
Anyway, just before our car broke, during at the gas station I pulled them from my bag because they wanna enjoy this scenery (I know such so strange idea came to me). Then, it came. While we were waiting for tow truck comes I noticed how unbelievably messy Gori-san’s hair was!! Probably he tried to protect us using all of his power(??) Well…
For the last 10 years until he passed away, he had been dedicating his time to write about his family history including organizing a lot of photos, and his eternal soulmate and wife Margaret’s family history, too. When he was a kid, some accident happened and since then his left leg was no longer smooth working. Now I am using his cane! He was so charming, also somehow his face and Orin’s seemed twin or brothers. Whenever we visited him, everyone said that to Orin (smile). In Arizona, I have 2 sister-in-law, and 1 brother-in-law there. I don’t have a family anymore, so this kind of family love is very significant. Viva Family!
