I copied this many years ago. The photo which
I glued on it then, shows Rafael as a child, about 1929.
The original poem was returned to Rafael, according to his wish, after our
divorce in 1981.
The following translation was made by me for the page "The
Heart is awake" (4), Dec. 8, 2007.
SHILLUMIM
- REPARATIONS Your nation has despised itself to death* , You atone for the wrong you have not done, If integrity, honesty, purity, if
faith and love We know - There are no reparations for the heart of a mother Whose infant was smashed against a wall And how will they wipe off the squalor
of blood and tears |
On the birthday of my ex-husband on Sept.
8, 2008, I re-edited that song in K.i.s.s.-log
Song
of the Day

Rafael Rosenzweig, my ex-husband and father of my 3 children
and father of his children with Ines, would have become 86 years today.
For the traditional Memorial-Day on the Thirtieth day after the death of a
close person,
Immanuel
our eldest son, created a presentation, which started with the song "One
Human Fabric" by Chava
Alberstein
(As to Rafael, see also
puzzle-piece 1b, and "The
Heart is Awake" III, and IV)

This
image, cut out from the trailer of "Everything
is illuminated", I shall always see in front of my eyes when I'll sing this song I'll experience all that has been created, I'll feel~womb all that has happened, I am a World, and the World is in me. |

my song, as I was able to adjust it, for the time being... |
Today, Nov. 4, 2010, fifty
years since the beginning of Mika's grandparents' love,
I feel moved by this drawing.
Mika's "card" for the bride of Avi, son
of Shalom, Efrat's mother's brother.
Imma folded laundry, I repaired a towel and Mika worked on our chest-desk
and learnt how to write "nisu'im" [marriage]
and "kalah" [bride].
The next morning, Nov. 5, 2010, I told Efrat about this special anniversary.
She opened her eyes wide and - as if overseeing those past 50 years - said:
"What would have happened, if there would
not have been a November 4, 1960?"
"For sure, you and Mika and I ~ would not be sitting around here at Shoham!"
Later - back at Arad - I transferred some photos made with my cell-phone.
Since there is no space around the pages which include October
29, 2010,
I'll insert the scene with Mika - on the morning of my travel
with Yanina to Jerusalem -
here:

Continuation
of my experiences with my family, since 2012 -
and on February 11, 2012 with Mika and Yael, Itamar's sister
[the image, that appears here on the Internet,
does "not exist" on the local site,
since the software, on which I've been creating "Healing-K.i.s.s."
for 10 years,
"Dreamweaver"
cannot show, what Daniel edited on February 23, 2012:
Mika's and my drawing of "ANGry-ANGel" in "transparency",
i.e. by editing it in a way, that only the drawing - not the paper -is visible.
When we realized this empty space on the local site, Daniel said:
"We'll leave this kind of editing for the future
website www.shemshem.org".
I said: "No! When looking at the drawing on the
Internet, it's so wondrous!
And since this is the last page of the 365 pages of SongGame,
I want to put the paperless ANG here as a sign for the future".
I
wasn't too pleased with the fact, that Mika often mentioned the name
of her phone-game: "Angry Birds". So I wanted her to learn how to read the word "ANGry" and did so by letting her compare it with ANGels. I then asked: "About what is the ANGel ANGry?" and drew a sketch. She added her own sketch, an ANGel who is not angry, but imagines the game of ANGry birds as something which she enjoys. But I couldn't ask her about it nor go further into the ANGel-ANGry symbol, since we had to part quickly. From Wikipedia I learn, that Angry Birds is a strategy puzzle mobile game developed by a Finnish computer game developer, with 500 000 000 downloads... inspired primarily by a sketch of a stylized wingless bird [see the bird-songs in SongGame - Dec.21, June 9], which to me appears more like a fish, .. and I wonder what this mixing of bird and fish means , or the mixing of ANGry and ANGel for that matter! I'm playing , too, now - with symbols... Isn't this a fabulous ending of the last page of SongGame 2007 in Febr. 2012? |
All the 365 pages of SongGame 2007 are now 'filled",
and most of them by
"Mika's Heaven on Earth" since August 1, 2009 in SongGame January
1, 2007
On Febr. 24, 2012 -
on the 14th birthday of Itamar, my daughter's son and Mika's cousin - I decided,
to continue the thread with now much rarer documenting of my life with my
family
in the 3 emptied, re-used pages of "Ya'acov
wrestling with himself"
