Today
I decided to rigorously implant/imprint the noun rekhimah, which I derived from the verb lirkhom, which in the Piel-form means "to have mercy on" and in the Qal-form appears only once in the Bible [Ps.18:2) and is translated as "I love", while I - from the noun "raekhem-womb" derive the meaning = "to womb". I want to replace with it the word "ahavah", whenever somehow possible. I'm sick of the the word "Love", which is so abused in 95% of usages. I'll be able to love, when I'll be able to womb myself and therefore others! [see how I coped with introducing the term "to womb" already years ago] |
see this stanza in "Wenn ich frueh aufwachen tu" |

[my mother who died at my present age: 75,
would have become 104 years old today]
I'm focusing the message of this
desert-song still further:

- 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..."

Second Interview with the Folks]
Exit of Shabbat, March 20, 2010, After the shower and before
going to bed
we once again watched the DVD of "Biblical Stories for Children":
Moses!
Here just the legs of baby Moses are visible in the
ark, put on the Nile by his mother and sister
One of our games connected to "Moses" was,
to write our own "Tables
of the Covenant, Tables of the Ten Commandments".
Mika, with only a little assistance, came up with 28 things which are "forbidden".
Her mother and I suggested to also engrave "things to do" in the
Tables", not only "things forbidden to do"!
She objected fiercely! "That will be your
Tables of the Covenant, Imma, not mine!"
When I later asked, if she could start her mother's tables, she came up with
three items:
(1) Imma must love herself
(2) Imma must love others
(3) One has to guard Imma
I glued these three "musts" to an especially pretty painting, which
now hangs on the new wall- device for paintings in the living-room
Sunday, March 21, 2010, Spring-Equinox, the day of my return to Arad
While I joined Mika for breakfast, she asked:
"Have you seen the painting of the octopods?
I painted it for you (when we were in the hotel of our
ski-holiday), you must take it to Arad!"
As usual I'm in awe of Mika's beauty. This is only half
of her hair, the other part is being braided by Imma.
In kindergarden they are not allowed to run around with open hair because
of the lice which are rampant.
I'm a fan of braids (and hair which is
not loose but stuck-up in whatever shape) and
I hurry to catch those braids,
when Imma and Mika enter the car - to bring Mika to kindergarden and Grandma
to the hitchhike junction.
"What's the matter with this belt?" But soon she gets it right. |
That's a good moment for contrasting the situation of Mika
and me in Israel, in March 2010,
~~~ with an old composition of rare photos with my solder-father, my sister
and me in 1942.
The last picture with my baby brother was taken
(in uniform) during his last leave, March 1943.
Only at the end of the year 1946 were we informed, that ..............
Siegfried Guth, aged 31, was killed during the Invasion of the Allies to Sicily
in August 1943...
It was not in
the city of Stuttgart, where my mother took these photos, but in the tiny village in South-Germany, to where we were evacuated, where we must have received the news about my father's war-death;. "must have", for I don't remember it, I didn't know what a father was. But I knew "God", who comforted me in this Catholic village church. It was in 1983, that I had a chance to visit my "home", together with my eldest niece, Regina. Except for the Madonna to the right it now looked exactly like a Protestant church, - s o b e r. |
Having extended the thread of 'Mika's Heaven on Earth'
to the past,
what is more logical than extending it to the Future that has begun,
Heaven-on-Earth for all people.
I'll give just 3 of the signs-visible-to-me, which multiply by the hour:
Welcome to the Transformation Team! Welcome home to us. Both the ...Transformation Course we've ceated and our multi-faceted community networking portal are providing fund and deeply meaningful ways for us to come together to support each other in generating and spreading love and in promoting transformation and paradigm shift in our lives and world...

Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir - Lux Aurumque -brought up my tears
Lux,
Lux Lux, Lux Lux Lux Calida Calida Gravis que Gravis que Gravis que Pura Pura velut aurum canunt et canunt et canunt Light, Light *'Gravis que' is actually written and said as one word, Gravisque, meaning "and [definition]". There are so many words listed because it actually means all of those, in a poetic sense that is difficult to capture in one word in English. |
185
voices ~ 243 tracks ~ 12 countries Austria ~~Argentina~~Canada~~ Germany Ireland~~ New Zealand~~ The Philippines~~ Singapore Spain ~~Sweden ~~ United Kingdom ~~ USA Details on how it was produced "When I saw the finished video for the first time I actually teared up. The intimacy of all the faces, the sound of the singing, the obvious poetic symbolism about our shared humanity and our need to connect; all of it completely overwhelmed me. ... a lot of the credit for it's beauty should go to Scottie Haines, who spent untold hours editing and polishing the video. (Scottie and I have only met once in the 'real world', unlike 99% of the Virtual Choir, whom I've never 'met'). Lastly, I'm hoping that this is just the beginning. My ultimate goal is to write an original piece for the Virtual Choir and have it receive its world premiere in cyber-space, hundreds (maybe thousands) of people singing alone, together. Woo hoo! |

Hundreds of comments posted since this amazing
video was made available on the web on March 21st, 2010
with over 100,000 views in less than 4 days!
"Thanks to the Internet, for
the first time in the history of mankind,
people not knowing one another collaborate for another reason
than fear of the whip, lust for money, or the promise of an
improbable future life. ..
And we have the chance to witness it, or even participate to it."
"I had goose bumps while
I was listening to it...
Things like these that push frontiers, make us humankind evolve. Muchas gracias!!"
"One of the most haunting, beautiful moments in YouTube since its inception."
How Eric teaches people in cyberspace
to sing separately-together "Then I offered the sheet music as a free download. As singers began posting their individual tracks, I called for ‘auditions’ for the soprano solo. Melody Meyers from Tennessee posted my favorite entry." |
[The video on
Eric's page, on which Melody (what
a name!) sings the Soprano Solo, Eric: "My goal with this ‘chapter’
of the Virtual Choir was to see |
I close this threefold demonstration of how "Heaven-on-Earth"
is speeding up
with an advice, which came to me via a paper clipping (no
author, perhaps Seth?):
"The s
o u n d of your inner thoughts is
the medium that you actually use.
This is far more than an analogy,
for in simple terms it explains quite clearly the way
in which your beliefs form your reality.
In quiet moments the word "O-O-O-O-M-M-M-M" said slowly, mentally
or aloud,
will be of benefit in toning up your general physical condition.
The sounds
contain within them a built-in impetus toward energy and well-being."
March 26, 2010 Shabbat-Eve, not at Shoham, but at Arad
- with only a phone-talk with Mika ["Remind
your parents to teach you our
Chad Gadya Song for our Pesach Night!"]
And what is it that blossoms
red and white in "my" garden and
fills me with ecstasis? An "old" pomegranate tree (indigenous in Israel) and a new pear tree (indigenous in Russia) "Old", for it was the only plant on the desert soil around my one-room flat in Dec. 2004! "New", because the starchildren , Tzippi, Boris and Rotem, planted it on Jan. 30, 2010! and unlike the apple-tree , which still refuses to wake up, it is proud of two blossoms! And wherefore have ye made us to come up out
of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? |
