Now - on August 1, 2012 - see the coincidence connected also to "my" pomegranate-tree (see the pictures below) |

Alone again -
not imagining, that this could have been the last time, that I hosted Mika
and her parents....
and that it will take 15 months, until they will be able to be my guests again.

accidental closeup of my Past
August 2, 2012
6 years ago Mika is seen with me
under 'my" still poorly evolved pomegranate-tree,
one of the two only plants I found in the "garden",
when I "settled" in my one-room-flat in Arad
on December 3, 2004, i.e. 2 1/2 years earlier.
Now - on August 2, 2012 - when I received the pictures of "Mika flying
in the air",
I remembered these pages about "Accident & War" 6 years ago,
in which I inserted the mystical series of "Elah flying in the air"
(1988),
which for me symbolized Mika's " incarnation in 3 steps".
Since just before the accident and before Mika's imprisonment in plaster and
war-danger
she is seen with me under"my" pomegranate-tree,
I'm inserting the photos I made just yesterday,
after I had finally found a method to "supportingly" imprison the
branches,
which with their overload of fruits were in danger to break the tree apart.
Above and below: on July 14, 2012
On August 1, 2012, after I had "un-burdened"
the tree from worm-infected fruits,
and tied the still disintegrating branches together with thin strong metal
threads.
To the left newly planted and already fruit-bearing-tree - "Tuttit"
- looks up to the glorious pomegranates.
Across the street - the neighbors's flag has been waving there since Independence
Day.
2013
See - on August 28, 2013 - how burdened with
fruits are the two new trees:
the ziziphus spina Christi and the Tuttit.
Both needed strong supports of poles and metal threads.
Whenever I watch them, day by day, I remember the
lullaby of Lea Goldberg:
"The trees are so heavy, the fruit bends the
branches,"
