"and walking humbly with your God"
Micah
6:8
In the shade there stands a crane and calls with the loving voice of silence: "my nestling! See what we have - an overflowing cup! Its your and its mine lets take and enjoy it!" The nestling- whose cup is still empty - is deaf. Or it kicks: "keep your wine to yourself! I've already gathered bread!" Amen! give me bread! I'll eat and know... In a document of April 2004 I discovered a version which ends with: "Amen - give me bread, my God' and I'll know..." |

 Translation: On the Feast of Shavuot 1984 I opened a passage in the book of "prophecy" I Ching Dshung Fu which became the answer to my question, how not to destroy what I build by my teacher impulse: "Why do you always have to teach us?" "because my udders are too full, and the slightest touch causes them to flood!" And there - there came the transformation |
"I had to hold back in order to
be loving and careful of others.
I actually feared I could hurt others with My light
and I have much Lost Will that believes it cannot receive Me fully
because I will be too intense for it."
[A sentence about an overwhelming feeling of God right in "the beginning",
see "Original
Cause: The Reflection Lost Will has to give", p. 2]

26 years ago I called my experience and the resulting
poem about the two cranes: "and to walk humbly
with thy God".
I've been quoting the latter over and over again during the last months, and
I do feel, that I'm finally manifesting this.
The very first time, that this half-sentence was brought "home"
to me, was at Tuebingen University, perhaps 1958.
In the "Protestant Students Community" there used to be a service
of 15 minutes at noon, with only a few students.
It was there, that the Students Minister , Hans Schmidt, quoted this half-verse
and said:
"I've a little son, three years old. When
we walk together, I cannot walk as usual! I must adapt my pace to his legs.
That is how God adapts his pace to the world, and if you want to walk with
God, you must adapt your pace to his!"
Thank you, Hans Schmidt, for having put a lantern at the far end of my hasty
paceand path !
Yesterday, while watching part of the ceremony of the Day of Independence
on TV,
the Chief-of-Staff was ending his speech to 120 excelling soldiers, boys and
girls:
"Go on with quietness
and trust and walking humbly !"
I don't know if he was aware how he combined two biblical verses in one.
But just the day before, I had done the same - and for the very first time
!
It happened in the weekly phone-talk with Ya'acov,
my brother-peer.
and I deepened the inspiration by re-editing
the page with Isaiah's 4 terms,
which I call "another kind of heroism".
Later that day I was finally inspired by a tune for Prophet Micah's verse,
imagine! after 52 years!

It hath been
told thee, O man, what is good, and what the LORD doth require of thee: only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God Micah 6:8 |

When
I listened to my
singing of "hatzne'a laekhet im elohaekha", I realized, that I - "conveniently" - used to leave out "im elohaekha". But if so, the "hatzne'a laekhet" "conveniently slides into "DENYING GREATNESS". It's only in the composition of these four words, that we can live both: our greatness ("your God") and walking humbly i.e. in tune with "Right Time". Therefore - while sitting in the jacuzzi today - a modification occurred, inspired by this morning's book + postcard, thus remembering the often quoted proverb, |
the
beginning of which appears in the card's parody about "the Schwaben"
the Suabians, into whom I was born, because my parents - shortly before my birth - moved from East-Germany to Stuttgart, the capital of the "Schwaben-Land" "no net hudla, hot saella Schneck gesaid"- "just don't hurry - or no need to hurry - has said that snail"  |

- Mika's Heaven on Earth Since August 1, 2009, I employ song-page after song-page for documenting and exploring the evolution of Mika my youngest grandchild, whose assignment seems to be: to demonstrate to humankind by her own living and doing, how to playfully create from moment to moment "zest-fully and full-filled" [see previous composition] |

Parting from Imma for the night
Shabbat, March 20, 2010
Finally we go out again,
"but only to the olive-tree",
Mika stresses several time - still worried,
that our painful
experience a month ago might repeat itself.
"The Olive-Tree" is, indeed, the most wondrous
as well as the most convenient spot anywhere in earth.
The traffic is all around, and still it's quiet, safe and a true "biosphere"

e-mail from starchild global!]

Imma prepared tea in a thermos-bottle. |

She still holds one of the two tiny plastic-cups which
I brought it for her from Hagai's
wedding (some fantastic dessert was served in
it)
Across the street: three men, probably coming
from the synague.
