"THE
TIME OF FRUITION"
An
unsown seed grows fruit |
"Behold the fowls of the sky They sow not neither do they reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly father feeds them." [New Testament, St. Matthew 6,26] |

2002_08_15 , my 64th birthday.
A week
later Avi Dror visited me for the first time, I picked
one fruit out of the eleven for him and
put it on top of a plate with
my veranda passifloras and
my Titorah figs. |
2002_08_28
Day of harvest of the ten fruits
as a gift to Ra'ayah, my daughter-in-love
You
gave me a gift, at first it grew but wilted in the end, like many gifts, that we give. But see, what occurred, from out of the earth a tomato sprang up that nobody sowed and yielded you fruits. |
The eleven red fruits are gone,
but my passifloras and my figs
literally fall into my mouth.
On my veranda I planted 3 passifloras
in pots,
when - after 16 years of wandering -
I moved - for a certain time - into a "normal", rented & furnished
flat in July 2001
The plants produced
within half a year. |
On my other veranda, intended for the laundry,
the vines creep up from my neighbors's garden.
I just adjust them over the washing-machine
and then enjoy their blossoms with exhilaration
and place their first fruits in a basket among those fruits which still keep
ripening on the vines.
Down on the pavement behind
the house A chronic bladder-infection
flared up |
And as to the figs instead of the figtree
to see it, to tend it |
I did not plant the tree, nor is the tree my property, but I've been tending it for 6 months now, from early spring through all the summer until the harvest and it rewards me with overwhelming abundance. |
"Nation
shall not lift sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. And they shall sit each man under his vine and under his figtree and no one shall frighten them!" |
I
rejoice in the fulfillment of the Biblical prophesy in my personal life: Micah 4,4; Zechariah 3,9; [similar; 1.Kings 5,5; 2.Kings18,31/Isaiah 36,16] |
"And
I will remove the iniquitity of that land in One day. On that day you will call each other [to come] under the vine and under the fig tree." |
This is my veranda
roof, the two-dimensional tent, which I prepared and used at my last desert station, my Salt Sea Springs, from March 13 to June 30, 2000. There is a meaning to the differences: instead of the fruits of the vine, mine is the fruit of passion, in its double meaning, the passion of Christ, and the passion of desire, |
And one last time - two shots of the passiflora washing-machine
