I can insert my playing and singing of the original German text only because I'm practising, that "the enemy of the good is the best" 2007_06_02

So spricht der Herr; es soll mir eine Lust sein, dass ich ihnen Gutes tun soll und ich will sie in diesem Lande pflanzen treulich, von ganzem Herzen und von ganzer Seele.

I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart and with all my soul [Jeremiah 32:41]

What a joyful day lyrics: Talma Aligon [a bit moderated by me], tune: Dafna Eilat [see also Talma's version of "the Ode to Joy"!] What a joyful day do I have today, What a day! Suddenly a guest came to me today! [Rachel: The field is blooming for me today!] What a day!.... What a joyful day, a day of surprises, the wolrd is full of miracles and wonders! What a joyful day do I have today, What a day! The field is blooming for me today! What a day.... [Rachel: What a streaming voice do I have today! What a voice!]

"....Manifestation is meant to be a playground
where being and doing are fun..."
[Godchannel, Second Interview with the Folks]

Since Mika's thread has reached SongGame 2007_03_17,
I've been creating a more comprehensive composition than before:
Not only a sculpture made up of Mika's personal, individual being ~ playing ~ living
but a composition of the major experiences of her family - on this planet - at this time.

Friday, April 16, 2010, before I left Shoham and hitchhiked to Arad

First thing in the morning, Mika - still in her pyjamas -came into my room
holding a fast moving propellor next to my face:
"Do you want to feel the wind?"

When Abba is on flight, it's me who keeps Mika company, when she eats her cereals.
Since I stayed a day longer for Elah's show the evening before, I enjoy Mika with Abba.
She asks him, if he knows this gesture of greeting, and he shows her, that he knows.

They leave the house for kindergarden, and since Immanuel will also drive me to the junction from where I hitchhike, I experience, how they leave the house,

and then, how Mika meets another kid, and then how Mika passes by the guard and enters her kindergarden with Abba. Both meet Orit, the main kindergardener, who favors Mika, so that Mika favors her. "You want to take photos?" she says to me and shoves us towards a fitting background! Here they celebrate Independence Day already today.

Orit wants Elah to pose, she doesn't know, that I hate posing.       The background of Mika and one of her friends, Valeria, shows not only symbols of the State of Israel, but also the letter Shin (sh), from the sequence of "guest-letters", through which the kids learn the Alef-Beth,

"We give our hand to peace" says this pretty frame.

"She has white hair, like the white color of the blue-white flag!" says a kid, when Immanuel and I leave the building

[I travelled to Arad and in the evening, the Eve-of-Shabbat, enjoyed another part of my family, Micha...]
