- Mika's Heaven on Earth
I follow my understanding and new lekh-lekhâ on January 1, 2009, that - after 7 years - I should no longer create new pages on my 2 websites, but intermingle the evidence of new experiences with that on existing pages. On August 1, I decided to re-employ song-page after song-page for documenting and exploring the evolution of my youngest grandchild, a starchild whose assignment for this planet seems to be: to demonstrate by her own living and doing, how to playfully create from moment to moment "zest-fully and full-filled" [see the previous 6 pages composition] The composition which continues the two former pages documents the last days of my family at Bet-Nehemya, before they would move in with my daughter at Modi'in temporarily, until their newly rented flat at Shoham would be emptied by its tenants. |

togetherness,

was also considerate of my own wishes:
