Welcome Eiko Kodama, Big Girl’s beloved mother, as the latest addition to join the 1st Avenue Tutelary Deity Council, having officially crossed the Sanzu no Kawa—it was her turn the other day.
Having accumulated much experience over her journey of 85 trips around the sun, her contribution is recognized as a critical element, replete with valuable nuggets of Japanese literary knowledge, which exuded from her living, metabolizing form as we chit-chatted in the back of the car on our way to one of many onsen trips.
Considered a gift to humanity, by virtue of the superior fortune granted to this free-range avatar—to have been able to be a part of Ms. Yasuda’s life.
The sole princess of the ancient Yasuda clan—only daughter of Eiji and Yae Yasuda—is where the Incidental Occxie took Bungaku Mama’s first daughter’s sweet hand in marriage—a wedding scene, conjured up as part of a phantasmagorical movie plot—into this Earthly materialization of a scene.
Gratitude for her words of encouragement regarding the efforts of Tsuda Umero—a Meiji Era prodigy—now an intricate part of the adoptive Kodama family, participating as a proud member of greater Japanese society.
Oh, by the way—thank you so very much for giving birth to my cherished wife, The Big Girl—and welcome to Kizuna Jinja as our newly anointed tutelary deity.
All living creatures return to ΩNE, eventually—you as well, beloved mother-in-law, Bungaku Mama—you followed the sun and became sublime indeed—the latest addition to reach the hallowed status of serenity—take your place as our neo-clan’s tutelary deity.
Truth be told, there comes a time for everyone to wake up from this dream—all said, all done—realize, open your eyes, Mother—as you row your boat gently down the stream.
