The porcelain lady is Japanese. Holding a stringed instrument, she sits cross-legged on a dark, rich square of wood. She is enchanting. When we were kids, I convinced my sister that I could hear her playing. Singing, even. Though she only half-believed me, doubt must have tortured her, because she toasted me with this story at my wedding. Choking back tears, she raised her glass to me and the figurine. Her wish for me? "May she always hear the music"...And I do. 4/20/01 |
