InteGRATion into GRATeFULLness
Singing&Sounding keeps me Sound

2007_08_01

lyrics&tune: Yair Rosenblum Artist: Efraim Shamir

It was this song, sung by Efraim Shamir, which gave my youngest grandchild - born 2005_12_20- her name M i k a Immanuel, her father played and sang the song to her, while she was still in the womb of Efrat, her mother. I've chosen this date for Mika's song, [see below: Febr. 13, 2011!] because from now on I want to observe and learn with her, how "Heaven-on-Earth", i.e. satisfaction and FULL-FILL-ment, is lived day by day and breath by breath. See Timeline of Mika's existence on this Planet "Exploration and Creation beget Full-fill-ment"

my own singing recorded on Febr. 13, 2011

Mika, come to my house who is like you with me there is no spring on the fields of strangers for you is the song from the treetops of my house like a thousand suitors Mika, Mika, who is like you who is like you with me Mika come to my house My Mika Mika, come to my songs who is like you in them If your thin voice is woven in my words Then melodies in me fly so around you And again come back to me Mika, Mika…. Mika come to my song, who is like you with it sing it, talk it, eat it, laugh it do with it as you wish For it is yours My song-of songs Mika come to my song sing with me

I now, on Oct. 8, 2010, want to insert here Mika's testing of my new digital recorder, in July 2010,
she tries to sing songs she knew so well at the age of 2-3, and to her utter frustration does not remember at the age of 4,
and a version of the song which I created for her 4th birthday (hear my own singing, and hear a funny version of Mika)

December 20, 2005    "A Child is Born"

I inserted these photos - taken 3 days after Mika's birth in December 2005 -
after one of them -"by chance" - appeared on the screen, when I opened my Arad computer
on the morning of August 14, 2009, the 11th birthday of Ayelet
and this after I had "by chance" worked on another Song page about Mika the day before
[Ayelet, by the way, is right now with her family on holiday in the USA,
traveling through Josemite Park etc. in a caravan,
in honor of her brother Alon's Bar-Mitzva]

Mika (17 months) and Yael, my daughter's daughter (11 years) in May 2007, at Shoham

En-JOY-ing and growing with Mika and my Family following the documentation "Mika's Heaven on Earth", inserted since Song Game 2007_01_01

February 13, 2011:  Is this   a mistake   or   a coincidence?
After the completion of "Mika's Heaven-on-Earth" on SG 2007_07_23,
a technical break in the continuity of my creation seemed necessary.
I checked , if this page would be suitable for the beginning of
"En-JOY-ing and growing with Mika and my Family"

I found out, that the above decision, taken on Aug. 1, 2007,
"from now on I want to observe and learn with her
how "Heaven-on-Earth",
i.e. satisfaction and FULL-FILL-ment,
is lived day by day and breath by breath."
was followed by the decision - exactly 2 years later - on Aug. 1, 2009,
to insert an ongoing composition of "Mika's Heaven-on-Earth",
beginning with the first page of SongGame!]

January 11-13, 2011 , Shoham

No photos of Mika anymore ! Except for special scenes which will remind me of a special situation! And yet there was a beautiful sunset on this evening!

As fixed via SMS, I came to kindergarden (after a terrible travel)
so that I could meet Efrat there at 4 PM,
when she would return from her last day at her job with Levi:
"I come to celebrate your "lekhi-lakh", your "Exodus from Egypt"!
After a gradual process towards openness and understanding,
and a mutual agreement about my future place in the family,
["only on those weekends, on which Immanuel is on flight"]
we had a very deep and satisfying talk about what happened,
this "eru'a mekonnen", this "event that changed everything":

Efrat's path towards independence from "employers in jobs",
as well as from "Grandma when husband/father is on flight".

At the end of this talk she changed her mind about this time:
"I think, you should not leave tomorrow, but only the day after,
so that Mika will have a chance to feel , that we are at peace!"

In the morning Mika still did not want me to see her off,
and after kindergarden she preferred... to visit a friend,
but then I was granted almost 2 hours of togetherness.
She even came into to "my" room and to our chest-desk
and began to cut tiny strips around a paper-strawberry.
This had to do with "The lion which loves strawberries".
It gave me a theme for a talk
"Do you know, that God promises in the Bible,
that in the future - lions will eat straw like cattle,
and that animals will no longer eat other animals?"
[see my recent song about this prophecy!]

"And what about people eating animals?"

"Since you ask this, I find this important enough,
to take one single photo of you - this time!"

January 27-29, 2011

"Kalaniot, kalaniot!" Mika screams and as every year in late winter, we are exhilarated to see the red anemones in the mixture of last year's brown vegetation and the new green grass. This mixture appears even inside the anemone: One insect - perhaps a spider - is engaged with another insect, probably already dead...

from Learn&Live 16>January 29, 2011
I had another hour and a half with Mika, and this was good,
so good, that I decided to take a photo to remember it:
While sitting in an empty toy-box, which she had turned into a kiosk,
placing a tray on it and exhibiting on it our little treasures from the toy-drawer,
she had - among these treasures - detected a deck of divination cards .

For an hour, at least, she "sold" these cards one by one to me, to herself, and later to Efrat and Tomer, while trying to read the word under each image. What was amazing, was, that exactly when Efrat came in,... Mika had two cards in her hands - which she gave rightaway to her mother, as if she knew, that "Breakthrough", and "Liberation" would fit her to the utmost.

Mika dresses-up Nella and photographs her

"Grandma, smile!" I was ordered, though she knows I hate posing, by others as as by myself.

Our cherished heart with a blossom. Is it my hand or her hand, her photo or my photo?
