I
discovered this song sung by Joan Baez in March this year, and was so enchanted by it right from the beginning, that after having listened to it over and over again, I wished I would find my own lyrics to it. Searching on the Internet, I found text and translation, but I still don't know, if this is Turkish or another language. The tune and the rhythm turned out to be complex, and unbelievably difficult for me to grasp, but with technological help - blessed be the software "Soundforge"! I could finally hammer the tune into my brain. Joan Baez age? |

Mika
and her friends: "I want to know all the children of the world" Here she prevents Keshet (rainbow) to run towards the road with its cars. Mika and the World: Here she follows the TV reality series: A star is born The last event was too late for her to stay up. When - first thing in the morning - she asked me: "Who became the Star? " and I told her: "Diana!" she said: "I'm glad! I wanted her to win! But Ohad (one of the 3 finalists) --- he didn't feel hurt, did he?"

It is Friday, September 3, 2010, and after all those
hazy twilight photos of the Yuvalim neighborhood,
it's time to show the view from my family's flat on the third floor of Sella-St.9,
across a lower neighborhood.
This was so important for Immanuel, Efrat and me - that this "final"
house should have a free-free-free view.
I include myself, since the only thing I miss in my home in Arad is, that
there is no free view, new view at all.
Though I "get" my view after 2 minutes, when I walk to the pool,
twice a day,
I still feel closed in, when looking through my 2 windows.
The view from my room
- a pity, that Efrat - for Mika's saftety - insisted on these bars,
though they are not straight like in a prison, but curved
But I have only to go out to the veranda, in order
to see the most splendid bar-less view in an angle of almost 180 degrees,
"Nichts
ist mir zu klein, und ich lieb es trotzdem und mal' es auf Goldgrund und groß und halte es hoch, und ich weiß nicht wem löst es die Seele los..." Rainer Maria Rilke |
THE NELLA DRAMA [What a coincidence, that on Sept. 16, 2010, a few days after I completed the sculpture of this drama, I come across another "dog-drama" , in Nov. 2008, in this case in the life of Arnon, Mika's cousin! [and there - a link to the beginnings of Mika and Nella!] |
"Nothing
is too small for me, and I still love it, and paint it on gold and huge and lift it high up, and I don't know whom will it untie the soul. " [my translation] |
One hour after the frightening drama with its
good outcome,
|
|
Mika
is used to elevators, I don't remember, how I tied
Nella
|
I, too, had to dedicate time to "digesting". I chose to create a new, neat, convenient bag, to be connected to the leash of the collar, something I had intended to do since some time. The new bag (made from a pair of fancy trousers, which Ronnit had bequeathed me, saying: If it doesn't suit you, make a cushion out of it!"), fits in nicely with its surroundings next to the door, and - of course - it reminds me of the Nella Drama, whenever I take the leash to descend with Nella. |
Two nights before,
|
Nella didn't seem to have a trauma!
When we awaited the car with Efrat and Mika at the exit of the underground
parking lot,
she greeted them on two legs - while I managed to photograph her as tied to
the red leash....
On their way out of the compound, they pass the garbage
truck....
There they went - through the (not functioning) barrier
- into the "normal" part of Sella Street.
After 150 meter they'll turn left and after some 300-400 more meters they'll
reach the little junction with the compound of school and kindergarden.
As if the Nella Drama hadn't been enough of an upheaval,
Efrat now wants to push through the week-long plan:
to cut my hair to the roots.
The plan was to let a professional hairdresser do this,
"only this one time, so that I can learn to do it next time!"
and to take Mika with us after kindergarden, at 1 PM.
Since 3 years ago I had appointed Efrat as my hairdresser,
and since I myself was fed up with hairs scattered everywhere,
I did not oppose the plan,
but neither could I support it enthusiastically.
"Help me with Mika!" Efrat begged me
in the face of Mika's fierce opposition,
as expressed by her , for instance,
the evening before in this situation:
