- 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 previous composition] |
On Wednesday, December 2, 2009, Immanuel
fetches me from Lod train-station,
Mika felt like doing NOTHING. When her mother feared she would be bored, she threatened: "I won't take you the next time!" But she accepted it, when I tried to relax her: "Look! She isn't bored! There is so much stimulation and excitement around here. I find it fascinating that Mika for once can do NOTHING." And then, when the other parents and children were gone, and Efrat had a discussion with Dalit, the artist and facilitator of the circle, Mika felt motivated to create something after all...
An hour before my son goes on flight, father and daughter explode with laughter, when he puts her to bed
Then something unusual: Mika - on her way
to fall asleep - is asked to come out again. The next morning, December 3, I sit with Mika who watches TV for some 15 minutes, while her mother gets herself ready to bring Mika to kindergarden and herself to her job. The program is especially interesting this time, both because Kai-Lan is a Chinese cartoon and because of this day's content and message: One of the characters - Lulu - builds a castle of sand at the shore, but a wave destroys it 3 times. His friends try to comfort him, but in vain. So they go to their friend, an old man, who shows them how to sway from side to side and breathe, in order to melt away the anger. This advice how to move emotions physically, is taken right from Re-evaluation Counseling, from Right Use of Will and Godchannel.com, but what is more!! is the way, how the movements of loving friends affect the angry Lulu: They do not give him advice by words! They simply approach him, sway and breathe and say over and over again: "When you are angry, relax and sway ~~~from side to side ~~~ breathe and sway ~~~ (To my regret I don't know the rhyme in the original, - I translated from Hebrew!)
