ヨーヨー、だよ明日からステイケーション！そう、どこにも行かないけど。一週間だけだけどね。もう、毎日のように、ニュースは暗く。先行きも不安。だからこそ、笑い。チェロ、毎日、酷い音だして楽しんでます。そう、心だけはヨーヨーマ。 View this post on Instagram Summer Challenge 2020: Learn to Play Cello Bach Suite No. 1 in G major Prelude ・ Day 7 My left index finger started to feel weird. Learning how to “play” cello or any instrument for that matter feels so foreign to me. My inability to read music, I realize, is like losing contact lenses in the middle of Shinjuku Station. The frustration of it all reminds me of how 2020 has been treating me thus far. But then, when I just focus on one simple task (MUST HOLD this string down like I am squeezing a pimple), and when I achieve it, there is joy. And it’s been fun. I know I sound horrible. I know this challenge is ridiculous. Nevertheless, 心はヨーヨー。We all need a bit of Yo-Yo Ma in our lives, especially now...da yo. ・ #心にヨーヨーマ #yoyoma #summerchallenge #cellopractice #大変な時こそ笑いを A post shared by Emi Okubo (@emimm77) on Aug 6, 2020 at 7:53pm PDT “Culture - the way we express ourselves and understand each other - can bring us together as one world” - Yo-Yo MaWe all need 間Juki
