Shoham, weekend June 3-4, 2011
continued
from this weekend with Mika
Towards 5 o'clock, before Shabbat-Eve, Imma brings
Mika to yet another birthday-party.
Soon these pompous kids-parties will end, or will they go on when Mika will
attend school?

Shabbat-Eve with Micha's family (without Ayelet)
|
There was no real bonding with her uncle's family, though at least Ra'ayah tried to draw her close. But Mika had an idea: to communicate through her paintings. Following that scene of having asked to "create" on the computer, saying: "It's much easier than drawing on paper" which caused both, me and her mother, to not withhold our shock and worry, she had returned to drawing like crazy. And - on this very night - with new content! stories! The first one: "Noah's Ark!" [see the importance of this metaphor in my vision!] "Flood and storm and lightenings are around the ark, while inside the bedrooms Noah's 3 sons can be seen, and some of the animals (the others are deeper inside), and Noah at the steering-wheel!" And while here she shows the painting to the family sitting on the sofa in the living-room she later takes each member to my/our room in order to explain her pictures to her or him, separately |

"The
Feast of The Giving of the Torah and the Feast of Shavuot" 
Shavuot was originally a feast of reaping, - expressed by Mika as children dancing with wreaths and fruit-baskets - and then became filled with a new content: the Giving of the Torah, - expressed by Mika on this picture only by the double table of the Ten Commandments,= [but see more on the separate painting below). Since in present time "the Day of Jerusalem" is celebrated close to Shavuot, Mika also added the symbol Jerusalem's walls. |
| The Giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. Mika explains: "On one side it's Moses climbing up the mountain step by step by step. "Ond the other side it's flowers gliding down. "And around the mountain thunder and lightening" |

June 4, 2011. Shabbat:
Towards noon, a friend came to visit Mika,
or more correct, was forced on Efrat by a mother who never invites kids herself.
When the girls were given their lunch, Mika demanded to exchange the spoons.
Her friend refused, a fight began and Mika almost pulled the map with plates
and cups to the ground.
I prevented this by screaming, which caused Mika's mother to rush over and
reprimand Mika heavily.
This, in turn, caused Mika to scream with tears: "It's
all Grandma's fault, why does she always interfere."
I was shocked by this tactique of rolling the blame on someone else and projecting
her guilt-feelings.
"It's what we all, each and every human on this
planet, do", I said to Efrat and she agreed.
 |
 Imma commands Mika to apologize to Savta, and she paints-writes: "Sorry that I blamed you, and don't laugh" |
Shabbat, June 4, 2011
When the heat receded, Mika consented to walk with me to what we call "our Succah-Hill".
The lower slopes of the hill are planted with most of "the Seven Species" [See on Healing-K.i.s.s. !]
and at this season I could introduce her to the fig-tree and its first -non-eatable - fruits: pagim
 |
In 2002-03
, when I tended "my" figtree on the Titorah-Hill at Modi'in, I tried to understand the complex process of Pollination, fruit, and propagation ... I forgot it again and now I don't have the patience to learn it again, though my recent [biblical] song includes the line: "The fig-tree putteth forth her unripe fruits..." [see Love-Songs >2011_01_10-17: My lover responded...] 
|
 |
When we reached the top of the hill with its succah, there, "of course", were other people sitting on the benches.
I wanted to find a lonesome spot in the environment, but Mika, of course, prefers to be with people, even grownups.
In this case a young woman addressed her: "Aren't you Mika? I am the daughter of "Mammi", once your kindergardener!"
I had brought with me "Salten Sticks", which I had come across in Efrat's kitchen.
Since they were too old to be eaten even for ME , I suggested to Mika to grind them,
so that ants and other animals could have a treat.

We discover an ancient water trough and then must
go home, for the sun tends to sink
June 5, 2011, On the next and
last morning before I travel back to Arad (and face
my "lesson",
 |
I
climb up to Mika's room and - seeing her already painting a second picture, ask for permission to watch. 
Her first creation on this morning we had already
seen. I don't remember, how and why we talked about garbage-bins. But her very smart ecological idea was, to "create a Garbage-bin Festival" with fireworks and all... |
