Foggy, Foggy Dew

2007_11_07 When I was a bachelor I learnt the song from a record by Alfred Deller in the early seventies. I deeply identified with the story... 2011:

Wikipedia: The earliest version (of English origin, sometimes called “Foggy, Foggy Dew”), is a lamentful ballad of a young lover. It was published on a broadside around 1815, though Burl Ives, who popularized the song in the 1940s, claimed that it dated to colonial America. Ives was once jailed in Mona, Utah, for singing it in public, when authorities deemed it a bawdy [obscene] song. The tune is a late 18th or early 19th century revision of "When I First Came To Court", licensed in 1689.

Abba, a friend told me to write a song about you

Abba lyrics and tune: Doron Madli [pronounciation?] Sung by Shlomi Shabbat alone Sung by Shlomi Shabbat in the presence of his father, while the audience sings with him and claps hands I searched for a song in SongGame, to which I could add this song the song of a son to his father, "Abba, the time has passed and we did not talk, Abba, forgive me, It took me time to understand - that you belong go me as I belong to you , as I love you, come , l et's not hold inside any longer, let us talk!" and decided, that the old English balad about a father and a son would fit well, and only then I realized, that this page bears the date of my own father's birth: one hundred years ago, on November 11, 1991, a father who let himself be killed as a soldier at the age of not yet 32. This is not the only song with this theme in present-time Israel, and what I see in its appearance, is the fulfillment of one of my most beloved prophecies: See in "Three Prophecies" Sept. 2010 Second stanza Maleachi 3 end Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet ... And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers

my singing on June 1   my singing on June 23       When I'll need the space on this page, I'll have to decide, which of the two sound-buttons I should delete

The next day, on June 2, 2011,
the daily post from the Israeli website "Good News" informed me about "Bereavement Artists".
In the video a mother, whose 4 year old boy was buried under sand, when a cliff broke off,
and who learnt to paint the luminescence of how he is  n o w  , says:
"For they want to be celebrated,
they want to be remembered in their love!"
I never mourned my father, for I was too small, when he disappeared from my life.
But after my brother's death at the age of 27, I spent 4 weeks with what I now recognize as "my art".
There was no computer, no Internet, no website then, but their were photos,
there were a few of his paintings, a few guarded letters, and there were my memories.
All these I composed into what I now call "a sculpture" of
c e l e b r a t i n g    h i m    i n   h i s    l o v e.

Here is another song about father and son, which I cherish, though I won't learn it by heart
Yaeled holekh be-rekhov- I boy walks on the street

The way I do this, is to stop - as exactly as possible - after every 5 minutes and then crop the first 3 frames] ]

The Dismissal Assignment: to Distinguish Spices

1:10:40

Elihav: "The more I open up, the more I enter the tunnel,
the more love I feel, and the more truth, and the more I'm close to myself,
and the moment I'm closer to myself, I can put this truth on the plate!"

I'l not break the rules of my new game
and not add images to the three accidental ones,
which I'm cropping every 5 minutes of the video,
but after this image of Elihav I continued to watch,
since I knew what would be coming -
and I do want to quote the touching dialog between Michal and Gili

After Gili admitted , that she herself had the feeling,
that she added too much Tonca,
which she was meant to use in this "Assignment of Spices",

Michal said:
"You always give us data of the ratio,
which means, you always give the right answer and this is always very convincing.
And I would like to know from you, from the emotional place, not from the schematic place, what happens!"

Gili:
"I feel a kind of storm that occurs in my head,
and I also loose myself a bit because of this assignment."

Michal points to her head: "In the head!"
and pointing to her heart: "I'm talking about here!"

Gili:
"What happens there, is another question"
There's a pause, in which Gili tries to prevent to show her tears, but they come nonetheless.

"Some days ago I thought~~~~" - pause, -" in the end it came out"
(Elihav, like the judges, is seen to look at her with great compassion)

"all the last years I was busy mainly with medicine,
the subject of cooking and my love to cooking experienced some kind of oppression,
I did it only, when I could, ~~~in very low doses
and suddenly here ---- I'm wholly and totally in it---
and also at home, the thoughts run only around that.
And some days ago I said to myself:
In a few days I'll have to return to the stage [a stage in becoming a doctor]
and this caused me a little
[here the timer on the video shows, that I "may" crop another sequence of 3 images:]

1:15:02

"to make a kheshbon-nefesh ["the account of the soul"] with myself, of what I want.
For I'm already almost 10 years in a chase
-yet another title, yet another achievement, yet another article, yet another certificate of excellence,
and I find myself lately asking myself not once,
what after all will be fun for me to do,
what after all will fill me with happiness, that I get up in the morning and say: 'ezae keff' [what fun or joy].
What keff in the morning, that I get up and I go to do what I love to do!
For I find myself here being touched by things, with an intensity,
with which I never was touched before in my life - by anything
(Yossi, who sits next to her, wipes a tear,
while Elihav, as before, and of course Michal and Chaim, yes even Roshfeld ,
look at her compassionately)
It fills me with an intensity which is totally different from everything!
That's it - what am I going to do with this? this I don't know.
That what's going on in my head lately."

Michal:
"That's not in the head, Gili, that's in the heart".
Gili, smiling a bit: "it seems so."
[While transcribing this from the video, I, too, have again tears in my eyes, like when I watched it on TV,
who could have imagined a dialog like that, in front of all the world, 50, even 20, even 10 years ago?!?
And again - when editing this page for the last time - on October 27, 2011 - my eyes are wet with tears..]

It's Yossi who is dismissed today, Gili not yet.

Immanuel at the age of 9-10

Program 20, which was shown on TV yesterday, the last one before the live-finale in 2 days, ended with a wondrous assignment: "Asking for Forgiveness through a dish". Since Immanuel was already "on the veranda", he was freed of this assignment. but not by chance I find this letter from him, in which he tells me with great sadness, that he did not need to ask for forgiveness, since I was blaming him without reason. So it's me who has to ask Immanuel's forgiveness, and I'm doing this here-with on other time! Immanuel finds a lost puppie - as usual....
