lyrics:
Qur'an Sura 93 In the morning hours |
tune: Christa-Rachel Bat-Adam |
This is my favorite Sura, the one I learnt by heart
while in
detention in Egypt.
By the morning hours, And by the night when it is stillest. Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate
thee, [Translation by Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall |
|
Mika in her own house
at Shoham, since June 28, 2010, "...Manifestation
is meant to be a playground
|
It is still Thursday, August 12, 2010 and we are still playing around in the pool
In the water we have a long talk about Moses. "Instead of enwrapping them in
waves,
She also sang a strange song about Moses,
While grandma is happy to sit on the fine grass, |
In a later situation she defines:
Of course, |
|
I
was overcome by fear and rage. What a relief, when I find Mika near the bags. How on earth did she manage to slip past me, while I ran into the other direction, back to where I had left the three? "Eva simply disappeared", she "explained". After quite a while, perhaps 10 or 15 minutes, we discover the grandfather. "How could you leave Mika alone!" I said and could control the blaming in my voice. He had some dumb excuse and DID apologize. But the "good friend" had been spoiled - at least - for me.... |
The grandfather didn't close the camera well,
- an erronous movie, from which I could retrieve only a scene of how I wriggled
myself out of the pool
Abba had gone off to Bankok, Mika was allowed to
see another show of "a Star is Born", and fell asleep on the sofa
Friday, August 13, 2010
I focus on what I am a bit apprehensive of - the two birthday celebrations,
on Shabbat and on Sunday
Also Tomer was supposed to come in the morning, but my fear was heard and
he came only on Shabbat.
Ever since our
return from our experience at the Kinneret, he did not relate to me...
- anger... or - guilt...?
On Sunday, my birthday: no congratulation! no "Shalom", when he
left for returning to his boarding-school!
It's not my ego and not his ungratefulness that are bothering me, but the
pain of my judging my "failure"....
Also -
in the spaces between the numerous short or long interactions with Mika and
Efrat I
think about my birthday.
Today
Mika invites me up into the bedroom, which she will share with her parents, until the additional room will be built in. These strange tiny creatures are called "Gogussim". When her father was a kid, the children use to play with "Gogo'im", which were simply the kernels (?) of apricots . A "modern" kid would be disgusted. I get exact instruction, what forms of Gogussim to place where. In the end she calls the 4 straight rows "the audience" and the curved row "the artists". She also takes photos, including of her bed-sheet |
I myself take the camera, when I see her funnily squeezed into the narrow corner between her bed and the "bobs-fog", on which I lean |
With both Imma and Grandma in the pool [see
a note about this experience on SongPage 2007_05_23]
- we meet a friend of Mika and her father, who catches her when jumping.
It was Efrat who kept encouraging Mika to do what she had done already a year
ago and now, with me, never dared:
jumping
