                 The FOCUS of MY INTENTION 
                  TODAY  
                   
                  Know exactly what you want, communicate clearly what you want, 
                  then get out of the way, live and play, and let happen what 
                  may! 
                   6:30 As always 
                  in high summer, I again woke up too early. -Though I. will fly 
                  only tonight, I joined the family's ride home yesterday. 
                  I desire to savor these 4 days 
                  of al-one-ness from 8 to 5 and togetherness 
                  in the remaining time. 
                  I desire to trust, that I's reduced EL-AL flights (rising 
                  oil-prices!) will be for the good of the family 
                  I desire to become whole enough to laugh with people when they 
                  laugh about me or scold me ! 
                  (E:"You want to be 
                  everything - e.g. the neatly set table on the veranda - so harmonious, 
                  that in the end there'll be no harmony at all!") 
                  (when they arrived & Mika didn't relate to me - "Mika 
                  has a problem with me" - I. got mad: "Have you started 
                  again? Give her time!") 
                  I desire today (I. is 
                  home, very busy, E. is "closing newspaper") 
                  to balance between distance & involvement.

                  hodayot [thanksgivings] for 
                    today 
                     
                    9:04 
                    My Body, 
                    my Partner, 
                    my God 
                     
                    I give thanks to our nerves,  
                    that they could perform so many tasks simultaneously, without 
                    running wild 
                     
                   
                     
                     
                   
                    
                     
                    My grate-full-ness concerning Efrat's birthday yesterday: 
                    - that despite my crazy tension and despite the postponement 
                    of my third idea - 
                    the birthday was "good" and Efrat's thank-you was 
                    genuine, I feel 
                    ("though 
                    I was troubled by Mika's lameness all day long, 
                    you arranged it so nicely") 
                    - that Tomer was so soft 
                    and relatively cooperative that no "scene" occurred. 
                    -that Efrat liked her page & appreciated 
                    that she could delete hated images. 
                    -that Immanuel found time to sit down at the keyboard & 
                    start to learn the song 
                    - that Zipi met her challenge with Tomer and that Tomer was 
                    so happy with her . 
                    - that - after I mentioned my understanding about "The 
                    triple thread" - 
                    Zipi told me: "that's how 
                    I met you! I came to Rakhaf for the first time, 
                    I saw 2 guys erecting a tent and a woman sitting aside and 
                    singing: 
                    "two are better than one, for 
                     if they fall, the one will lift up his 
                    fellow... 
                    and the triple cord will not quickly be severed! " 
                    I'm grate-full that I could share this coincidence while Zipi 
                    sat with all of us.

                 Finetuning 
                  to my Present 
                   
                  A new generation of "Starchildren". 
                   
                  In the morning I said to Immanuel laughingly: 
                  "I'll take Nella out and I'll water 
                  your plants, 
                  if you edit and transfer to me the photos you've taken at Arad 
                  yesterday, 
                  for my own scarce harvest gives a bit of a gloomy picture of 
                  the day." 
                  He didn't hear the part about watering, 
                  and watered also himself... 
                  But I did receive the photos and enjoyed our Shabbat even more 
                  than in real time. 
                   
                  Tired of all the "documenting" during the last week, 
                  I didn't feel like taking any pictures today 
                  when we left for our outing, 
                  and only out of habit took cellphone and camera with me,  
                  together with our blue box and the now obligatory grapes! 
                   
                  Thus - when I saw this scene and became elated by the 3 tiny 
                  girls, 
                  and began to photograph it, it was only after the second take, 
                   
                  that I realized, I was using the cellphone camera instead of 
                  the "real" camera.

                 Mika again wasn't very cooperative, 
                  but when we reached the Sunflower Park, 
                  a little girl suddenly stood in front of me, 
                  looking at me with joy! 
                  It was Galli, whom I've 
                  known already in the past 
                  as a lovely starchild. 
                  Mika exclaimed - out of place - "where 
                  is Amit?" 
                  and I said: "Amit 
                  isn't here, but Galli is, don't you see her!" 
                  No sooner had we sat down with the blue 
                  box, 
                  than Amit appeared!  
                  She is 2 years old, the same age as Galli, 
                  both are exactly half a year younger than Mika.  
                  During the next hour I came to know Amit... 
                  and though she - unlike Galli - hardly speaks, 
                  the way she looked at me.... 
                  with such warmth and "knowing" ... 
                  as if this was ........... a reunion... 
                  Her elder sister was of another kind: 
                  when Galli's mother Natalie gave everyone a piece of apple, 
                  this sister grabbed Galli's piece: "this 
                  one is bigger!" 
                  Galli cried and I said to the sister: 
                  "Do you think, it's fair?" 
                  So she gave the piece back. 
                  In a later situation Amit came to me crying, 
                  sitting in my lap (something Mika rarely does), 
                  saying a word, which her approaching mother identified: 
                  "hi hetziqa li!" "She -the 
                  sister - bothered me!" 
                  I couldn't help telling Sharon, the mother, 
                  the apple-story. 
                  "Well she is a sandwich child, 
                  always afraid that she has no place in the family.."

              First 
                  Continuation of Efrat's Birthday at Arad,  yesterday | 
             
           
            
          
          Stepson still asleep at 9:45 AM - lying across 
            the mattress-corner on my veranda, which little Lior and I had cleaned 
            so well 2 days ago. 
            Stepmother - among birthday balloons - closing her eyes for a few 
            moments - while lying on the mattress opposite to "Tomer's" 
            corner.  
            [see 
            two sleepers in the same corner in May-June 2006, shortly before 
            the accident on July 6, which Efrat commemorated often today: 
            "It's another birthday, for Mika and I 
            were born anew!"

                  Little Mika and big Tomer asked 
                  if they could pick a pomegranate
                   from my tree. 
                  [see two more of many images

                  "Try one", I said,  
                  "though it might not yet be ripe". 
                  Most of the kernels  
                  were, indeed, still white,  
                  but sweet enough 
                  for stepsister and stepbrother  
                  to enjoy them.   | 
             
           
           
            Now compare the quality of my photos with 
            that of Immanuel's!!!: 
           
          
          
          
            
            
          I almost had no spare moment to document the 
            7 hours of togetherness in my castle at Arad and on our way to Shoham 
            and when I did take up the camera, somebody opposed the "Paparazzo", 
            like Tomer who is seen turning his head away. 
            But when I just focused the lense on Tomer from another angle, Immanuel 
            happened to come around from the kitchen, 
            and that's how I got at least one image of father and son on this 
            day...

                  In the beginning Mika was curious, 
                  seemed to remember how to walk around the corner of the veranda,
                   (see 
                  "Mika's Creations with Nature" , Succot, Sept. 28, 
                  2007)
                  and started playing with the sand, the 
                  small stones and the little twigs  
                  which I brushed into a pot for her. 
                  But when she was asked to play inside the veranda, she lost 
                  interest, 
                  though I brought her all the pots and "ingredients" 
                  for "cooking for Imma". 
                  Whatever toys and junk-cherished-by-small kids I provided,  
                  she jumped from one activity to the other - devoid of her usual 
                  "joie de vivre". 
                  Even the ugly dummy didn't help, nor the nap on my bed inside. 
                  She was like a lame duck,  
                  and my grandma-pride had problems with Zipi experiencing her 
                  like that.
                  "She is not herself today at all", 
                   Grandma whispered in Zipi's ear
                  "perhaps she is envious, that she 
                  is not the center of the birthday."
                  
                  It was only in the middle of our drive 
                  to the north  
                  that Mika "woke up" and became her own happy, funny 
                  self. 
                  But since Tomer sat next to her and objected to my photographing, 
                  there is no picture of this change. 
                  Tomer: 
                  "why should you document this, 
                  there will be thousands of rides like that". 
                  "Each ride is different and new, and anyway 
                  this is the last time, that you go "home", 
                  ( for 7 more days)
                  while the meaning of "home" 
                  means the family of your mother!" 
                  
                  By the way, when Abba said: "In 
                  half an hour we'll be at your mother's",
                  he reacted: 
                  "You mean, in half an hour we'll be there (i.e. arrive)" 
                  
                  | 
             
           
            
            
            
            Efrat: "I 
            want a wreath!"  - we were 
            just about to begin the celebration with the kids' birthday song and 
            its line about a "blooming wreath". 
            So, since Tomer had brought a bunch of flowers, which he handed to 
            his stepmother together with a beautiful letter of "acknowledgement", 
            I made a wreath with utmost speed, something I haven't done for 35 
            years.  
            Zipi helped me by holding the metal bow - a neck"lace" I 
            had bought in Jerusalem right after the 1967 war - as I wound the 
            flowers around. 
            And I crowned my queen! -  
            On the photo to the right I'm holding "Chamin", 
            a Sephardic Shabbat dish, hot and wrapped in silvery paper, which 
            Meital, my landlady, brought us as a gift. 
          
           
           
            
            
          
             
               
                  See the change of Mika's mood within a minute:

                once 
                  more - the song of the day 
                   
                  "Better are the two 
                  than the one 
                  for they have a good reward for their labour. 
                  For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; 
                  while the one, should he fall,  
                  has not another to lift him up 
                  ... 
                  and the threefold cord is not quickly severed."
