There was a lunar eclipse from March 3 to 4, 2007:
"Seht ihr den Mond dort stehen? Er ist nur halb
zu sehen und ist doch rund und schön"
1. Der Mond ist aufgegangen 3. Seht ihr den Mond dort stehen |
4. Wir
stolzen Menschenkinder 6. Wollst endlich sonder Grämen |

- Mika's Heaven on Earth Since August 1, 2009, I employ song-page after song-page for documenting and exploring the evolution of Mika my youngest grandchild, whose assignment seems to be: to demonstrate to humankind by her own living and doing, how to playfully create from moment to moment "zest-fully and full-filled" [see previous composition] |
"....Manifestation is meant to be
a playground
where being and doing are fun..."
[Godchannel,
Second Interview with the Folks]
The same scene - Mika with her cup and the men with
their kippas - from a slightly different perspective
What a treasure! A brick!
Now Mika must exemplify the back-breaking work of the slaves in Egypt!
More manageable are the clay-shards, spread on the tiny
path through through this "biosphere".
She identifies the white boulder as limestone, which inspires her to scratch
on it with a shard,
but then she prefers to compose a face, at first on the boulder directly,
then on the "Egyptian" brick.
For eye-brows and hair she picks the fruits from the shrubs behind her. It's fantastic, how many "things" are available on this small piazza, with a diameter of perhaps 15 meters... |
The "things", that she had insisted to put in her
backpack, are also part of our game.
And so are the wildly singing birds in the tree and the ants ("insects"!)
on the ground.
Even a huge ant, which passed by outside our rosy map, shocked her only slightly.
And the army of very small ants which had discovered crumbs of Mika's sandwitch,
attracted her curiosity instead of her fear.
Then, after about 2 hours, she has enough. And anyway,
we are thirsty.
