2010 - Mika's and My Heaven-on-Earth
Mika "gives treatment" - she says - to our "old" olive-tree on "Crane-Piazza" |
Mika seems to remember Re'i Benjamin, Tamir's and Hilah's baby, from beyond ... |

Heaven-on-Earth
|
As if I hadn't been blessed enough by the brothers'
common participation in Alon's Navy ceremony -
I - after our talking in Arnon's room - found my sons working on Micha's and
Arnon's huge puzzle:
"We advanced four times faster..."
A few days later Efrat let me into a secret :
"Do you remember the reality-show "Running for the Million"?
Though I saw only part of the sequence of the last season, I was moved then
by very idea,
to cause two-people-together to meet incredible physical, mental and emotional
challenges.
It was her idea to register the two brothers - she won over her husband
"and now , please hope with me, that Micha
will also agree!"
After some thinking Micha indeed agree, understanding like Immanuel, like
Efrat, like me,
that the very process towards becoming candidates would be deeply bonding
for the two.
For instance, there is a question in the questionary: "When and why did
you quarrel?"
I said to Immanuel: "Did you ever quarrel with Micha?"
He frowned: "there was one, very severe,
quarrel and it was for YOUR sake....!"
I felt guilty, that I, by not having taken care of myself enough, caused my
sons to quarrel,
but aloud I said: "Well, then this will
be the chance to heal that into depth!"
Shabbat, November 13, 2010
As I said - though Mika's father was at home, I was there also,
since later that day, in the evening, he would again go on flight.
While Immanuel at 7 AM went on a
bike trip with his friends, In Mika's club there needed to be
many things,
|
That's how far I came with my desire to document
Mika's creativity.
But she - she never tires.
Even when she comes down in the morning, she forgets to tell me,
that Imma had ordered that I help her with getting her breakfast.
She insists in gathering the utensils needed to eat her cereals.
But eating itself proceeds like a snail or is forgotten altogether,
because of too many ideas that must be carried out at the same time.
When she's finally done, I say: "Now you
must dress!"
and I show her the clothes which Imma seemed to have prepared.
"These are not the right clothes!"
she claims and slips into my room to go on playing.
Imma comes down tiptoeing on her high heels, not to disturb the neighbor below:
"Why aren't you dressed!"
she screams.
Later , when things had calmed down, I asked Mika cautiously:
"Why was it so difficult for you to dress
in that moment?"
She said meekly: "I wanted to play!"....
Immanuel comes back and soon we are on our way to Jerusalem
To pray at the Wailing Wall had been Mika's desire since long,
ever since they had talked about Jerusalem in kindergarden.
As we come near the walls of the Old City, Immanuel
exclaims:
"Oh look, there are the blind bikers!
I was supposed to bike with them today!"
Isn't that a sign for the manifestation of the
prophecy, that the blind will see and the deafs will hear ?
But before this can happen, the seeing people have to realize their solidarity
with the blind,
and so they bike together on a tandem bicycle, and I have tears in my eyes....
Efrat and Mika walk down towards the Wailing Wall
and I remember the moment, when I first saw it,
two weeks after the 1967 war,
still squeezed into a very narrow lane...
I'm dressed decently, or so I thought, but my arms were uncovered, so I received
a shawl like this woman before me, for free, for Mika's costume-drawer!
Quests to God!
