Another guardian, Kanon

Little charo2 episode 42 Guardian



Kanon appears to guard Shota in the Lost Forest just at the same time Charo sees Dread.
I remember that painful moment she left Charo because she just wanted Charo to live strong without her.


I will recall some impressive phrases between Kanon and Charo.

Episode 9      A mother's choice 

That's band used to be mine. I gave it to Charo.

It's his only memento of me.

It's okay if he doesn't know me as his mother.

I just want him to live his own life.

(That must be a tough choice)

Yes, but that's the way it has to be.

Kanon fights back her tears.

Then I'll pray for you, Charo.

I'll pray you'll find Shota.

Episode 11        Out of the Storm

Charo! A storm is coming.

Let's go back to the lodge.

Shota may have left footprints. I have to find them before it's starts raining.(Charo)

Charo, we have to go now.

Just a little longer.

Now! It's too dangerous.

Don't tell me what to do! You're not my mom!

Kanon can say nothing.

Episode 20      Sayonara

Charo, it seems my son is in the Lost Forest.

I'm leaving. I'm going to look for him.

I won't see you anymore?

That's right.

Kanon left Charo a message ' Always be strong '

Sayonara

I want to protect you from all wrong

Wish to see you grow up strong

Even if the world should be against us

I'm glad l got to see you run

To find you young and free

Please remenber me, my precious one

Sayonara

This song is sung by Donna Burke, who  is a singer, an actress, a writer, a business owner as well as Kanon's voice.

I sent her a mail to praise her great work and her lovely voice.

She sent me  her sincere message back. I'm very excited to hear from her.

She said that playing the role of Kanon was a career highlight and so powerful mother love for her.

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of Charo 2.

Snow fall

I made short poems of snowfall, never stop  persistently.
This time I made Japanese short poems 5,7,5 first and translated into English.

Snow fall never stops
             loaded on
                       labors to remove it
              

Amount of snow loaded
                No break time to melt away
                        It starts snowing


If falling snow were
                  Much of grief
                        I would wait to melt patiently


If falling snow were
               Tears of angels'
                          It would wash evil out


If falling snow were
                 Sigh of spirit of frozen queen                   
                          It might  call spring

 

A guardian, Dread

Little Charo2  Episode 42

"I've never expected to find you here."
"It seems I'm going to have to take care of you again."

The deep low voice was Dread's who had been dead in NYC in the season one.
Of course, I missed him as much as Charo and also never expected to find him!
I still recall his words when he used to take care of Charo  in NYC.
I want to share some good phrases in my mind.

From Little Charo  season 1  (archives of Dread's words)

"It doesn't really matter when your birthday is."
When Charo was crying because he didn't know when his birthday is, as he had been abandoned.
Dread said to him that he should make the day of the birthday.

"Whatever you want to do, Charo, you can make it happen."
Dread push Charo's back to go on finding Shota.

"If that's true, it must be worth a look."
Charo told Dread there are beautiful cherry blossoms every spring in Japan.

"Did you know that reality can be made of miracles?"
"Life is surely full of surprises."
Dread knew his life would end soon and he advised Serius to live strongly.

"We won't be seeing each other for a while."
The last word to say goodbye to Charo....before he passed away.

Snow flowers 2

More and more snow is staying here and there.
The snow flowers has grown bigger than last two days.

Japanese Doll

We are now depressed not only with bad economy but also very cold waves with much snow and icy roads.
I found promotions at shopping mall to attract people to buy. It's the season for vilentine's day and many kinds and a big amount of chocolate products are sold at the special counter.

Another view hit my notice. Japanese traditional dolls are being sold now on season sale. They are shown for a while, until the girls festival, "Hinayana Matsuri", on March 3. They Should not be displayed late after the day.

Most parents and grandparents are going to prepare a traditional dolls for the new born daughters or granddaughtes.

I used to arrange display the dolls when my daughter was small at home but recently not any more.
The custom to decorate dolls and make stages for them is a little bit tiresome. Arranging and settling down are much works to do...that's why I give up it nowadays.

I feel sorry for the dolls in the box not to be shown for a long time.



 

Before and After

An old unused skirt has been reformed into a pouch bag.
Now I've got a revival one, a bag made of suede skin just now.
It's familiar and warm to me.
I will use it as often as possible and keep it with good care.

I like to reuse products and help the good craftsmanship.

Snow flowers

Cold wave comes around so many times this winter.
Snow fall covers the trees and it shows very beautifully like flowers this morning.
I took the white flowers on the trees outside on my way to work.

We need to be patient with cold weather but somehow enjoy the beauty of scenery, too.
I think it's the gift for the cold weather land in winter ....might be from a snow queen.
