lyrics&tune:
lyrics adapted to my own life |
In
the study-year 1978-79 I was allowed - in the framework of my teachers College to teach a class "Mutual Support" or Co-Counseling. At the end of each meeting we used to dance and sing this song. I dare to say about myself, that I did all this, what the singer would like to do in his life. |
|
With these very hands I haven't yet built
a village, Ay-ay-ay, I haven't yet loved enough,
I haven't yet established a tribe, I haven't
yet composed a song, Ay-ay-ay, I haven't yet loved enough... |
*) a
quote from the famous saying of the ancient sage Hillel, which has also become my own slogan, for my life and for "Partnership": "If I'm not for myself, who will be for me, but as to myself - who am I? And if not now, when?" |
"with these hands"
|
With these very hands I did build a village, Ay-ay-ay,
Ay-ay-ay,

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 ... |

Abba left the night before and I'll stay until his return 4 days later

I praised
her and thought, that a real good game could be developed out of this idea. But strangely - after we began, she immediately sidetracked me to something else. What was wrong? I asked her several times, but she continued to evade me. Perhaps she didn't know herself. But till now I'm puzzled, why she wouldn't even try out her idea? She, who constantly experiments with something new? |

She suggested to eat on the veranda (no winter!) Even Mika doesn't look as pretty as usual, when eating Aya-Lia, leave alone Grandma, of which she made 10 photos one after the other.. |

I didn't know, if Mika ever paid attention to my sowing
during her breakfast.
Until this morning, when I said:
"It seems that I'm finally done with this extremely difficult seam."
The white rigid tulle with the even more rigid golden "medals" on
it,
bought by Efrat and Mika on the market at Bangkok some time ago,
- together with another cloth of the same tulle, but red and silver,
really got on my nerves, and I regretted to not have taken it to Ra'ayah,
when we were there 3 days before,
and let her sow it by machine.
But now Mika conveyed, that she liked my sowing
and didn't like it, that the following breakfasts would be without it.
In the afternoon there was a little drama: Gil'ad, a kindergarden mate who was supposed to come Mika, didn't , and his mother neither apologized, nor was she even available on the phone. Mika was terribly sad, and Efrat - and even I - took it to heart. So Efrat decided to take Mika to a feat in town. Before we left, Mika invented this pretty game: The wooden box (the only part of a "babutchka" with 3 dolls, that is still around), with a tiny orange in it plucked by Mika on the way to kindergarden, placed on a piece of cardboard (which I had saved for her), presented a birthday-child! In Israel, a child on his/her birthday, is seated on a chair, and the chair is lifted up by grownups as many times, as the child is old . This is what Mika did with her "child", lifted it up carefully and congratulated it! |
Then,
when we sat in the little restaurant in town, a miracle happened: Not only did one of Mika's mates, Yael, pass by, and not only did Yael agree to visit Mika the next day, --- what was astounding, was, that this girl is the uncrowned queen of Mika's kindergarden society [how pathetic, that matters of status matter already at that age!] and had never before visited Mika, nor had Mika been invited by her! |

a look also at the crystal-ball, and see the story |
