The former inhabitants and visitors
of the cave, when there still was only half a meter between the
ceiling and the ground:
 |
The first night a fox trampled over
me.
I asked his forgiveness for having taken its home
and begged it kindly to stay away.
After about two weeks it appeared one more time.
The desert mice, on the other hand, couldn't care less about
the same quest, until I had to trap them and erect a new
colony for about 16 of them. |
One day a young ibex passes by the
cave to the south,
another time an older ibex looks around the cave from the
north |

The story about how Tamir and his father dismantled
two solar panels from the caravan, which belonged to my bus,
and installed them in the cave, where they were stolen after ten
days, will be told later.
Tamir's father Shim'on has such a head-ache,
that he couldn't install the solar panels
 |
The
solar panels, battery and battery protector
and the gas-bottle and regulator were stolen,
the tap of the water-container was broken by a curtain flapping
in the storm,
and a simple jerrican with a tap, lent by a visitor, now
gives me water.
Tea and soup can be made on the fire behind the little garden,
watered by waste-water.
This corner with my grandson's sage plant - now blossoming
in blue -
gives me endless joy.
A wild spring flower, Aaronsonia, joined the sage .
She outlives her wild sisters, which are already withering
in the early heat.

Lass dir alles
geschehn, Schoenheit und Schrecken.
Man muss nur gehn. Kein Gefuehl ist das fernste.
Lass dich von mir nicht trennen.
Rainer Maria Rilke, aus "Gott spricht
zu jedem ehe er in macht"

Let everything
happen to you, beauty and horror.
One must just go. No feeling is the farest.
Do not let yourself be separated from me.
Rainer Maria Rilke, from "God talks
to each one before he makes him"
