A Polish Love Song

Polish Love Song It was in 1962, when I prepared for singing
love songs |
The tune charmed me so much, I hoped |
Gdybym to ja miala Prozno dziewcze gasko Gwiazdy srebrne gwiazdy |

The song, as Ruth Giese had taught me in 1963 |
Ruth & husband, when they visited us 14 years later in Israel |
2010 - Mika's and My Heaven-on-Earth
2010_10_28-29
Heaven-on-Earth
|
Efrat told me - twice - the second time in Mika's
presence:
Mika: "I want to
be God!"
Imma: "Why God?"
"Because he can save all the people in the world!"
"But a doctor can also save people!"
"But if the doctor himself gets sick?"
"Then another doctor will come and help him!"
"But if all the doctors will get sick?"
In the morning, with Mika in my room, I find a booklet of pages on which is written - in Mika's akward letters: Creation of the World. Leaving through it I again couldn't believe, that the third day includes the creation of vegetation. How come, if the sun, necessary for all plants, was created only on the fourth day? |
Day 2 |
Since - before my family moved flat |
Mika
played around with my "sausage-cushion", which I use above the usual cushion when I read before sleep. Though Imma had warned her, she continued to throw the cushion around and came to hit a plant on the table, which Efrat tends with great care. Of course, Efrat became very angry, and Mika felt very guilty. Her way of dealing with guilt is - to cry, run away and dramatize crying. Efrat indeed wanted Mika to feel guilty. After a while I asked Efrat if I could give advice and she consented: "You should teach her how to deal with guilt feelings, Her present method is to show herself hurt and expose her suffering, in order to extract your compassion and consolation." She called Mika, who ran into her arms relieved. |
Day 3 |
Day 4 |
But
Imma, in a consoling tone, made it clear to her, that first - she hadn't listened to her warning, second - that by damaging the plant she had hurt Imma and third - that the plant itself was wounded now. Mika couldn't deal with more guilt - first she laughed, as if trying to sidetrack Imma, then she cried even more. I again - this time in English -asked for consent to give advice: "The point now is not to make her feel more guilty, but to teach her, how to deal with guilt-feelings, for instance how to ask for forgiveness." And I said to Mika myself: "Remember - in the pool ---when you - by accident - tore my chain, and immediately said: "Please forgive me, please forgive me!" " Efrat changed her words and I left, so as to leave them in their intimacy. |
Later
I was alone with Mika near the plant and she said: "Look, it is wounded", her voice full of compassion. This morning, the wounded branch was bent to the ground, and it was again Mika, who showed me this with great pain. I said: "speak to the plant, but don't touch it! We'll find a support for it to lift itself up!" She immediately brought some plastic-piece as a support. I said: "the height is right, but it cannot be stuck into the ground, on the way to kindergarden we'll find a tiny fork from a shrub." And that's what we did. See an image of the plant on the following page, and see there a second account of the event, since I had forgotten (!!??), that I had drafted it right away already on this page! All this causes me to insert the song I made some days ago: The prophecy about the Covenant between us and all the Creatures Created on the fifth day: |
Day 5 |
And
in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground; and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely [Hosea 2:20) |
|
20 And God said: 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.' 21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that creepeth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.' 23And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day |
Day 6
One of many little drawings, |
On
that day I made a big mistake, I brought Nella with me to the kindergarden. Most kids were delighted and stroked her. And to one child, who was afraid, I said: "She'll do you no harm!" When Mika wanted to play on the adjacent playground, I tied Nella to a convenient pole in its center, until.... she snapped at a child ...and the mother..... Nothing really happened, but now we are scared... |
