As the fruit of becoming whole = accepting all of myself, I desire:
to live and explore and evolve   L O V E   in my personal life
and to play my part in creating the conditions for Heaven-on-Earth
by radiating grate-full-ness, zest-full-ness and full-fill-ment
on the actors in my individual life-drama and on all human beings!

A DESERT PEACE PROCESS - 2002
First Part
2002_07_28; last update: 2003_03_01

A recycled bicycle-wheel , covered with palm fronds,
served as moving flag above the first Abraham succah,
representing the source of energy in 'Desert Economy'.
May the sun       cycling       in the wind
move us towards fulfilling our dreams.

 

 

 

 

 


 

When I watch interactions between kids in Israel,
I hear much too often:
                    "ani  tafasti ,  ani  tafasti !"
                    "I grabbed it, I grabbed it!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's how Arnon (6) or Yael (6) asserts him/herself.
But what about grownups doing the same thing?

An urgent message on my phone, an e-mail on my screen:
"Avi has founded a new company 'Succah in the Desert',
and dispossessed me and my wife of all our rights to the
"DESERT RESOURCES COMPANY LTD".

Shocked as I was,
I also couldn't help saying:

"But Gadi, you brought this
on yourself.

After my visit in the Succah
on Jonathan's birthday in April,
I pleaded and urged you
to heal your relationship
with Avi.

But you did nothing.

You even said, that, in fact,
there might be a chance now,
since Avi's partner,
who is the main trigger for you,
will be away.
This woman has not been
in the Succah
for 3 months,

but you have done nothing."

When we met, I added:


Gadi in front of the Isaac Succah, maybe in 1994


"It's OK to do nothing.
There is a quality in that too.
And as a puzzle piece in the right place it is invaluable.

But you must take responsibility for the consequences
and not make yourself a victim
and fidget with the idea of suing Avi.

It will deprive you of financial resources
you don't even have to begin with.
And even if you had the money, and even if you would win,
who would be the foster parent of the present Succayah?
You, the introvert artist, with your 4 children?

But even if a replacement for Avi could be found,
how could you manifest so great a vision on such shambles?"

Efrat inside the Isaac Succah, as a guest
Avi, the host of the Succayah,
its re-builder and maintenance worker,
its baker and cook,
its fetcher of water from a tap 2 km away,
its communicator with guests
and often their transporter
between busstation and Succayah
etc. etc. etc.etc. etc.
has made the transition from "kids and career".
This is the ideal period of one's life
for working as a host in the desert.
Avi closed his business as a building conctructor
with enough money left to survive in a "business",
which at this state hardly produces a minimal salary.
As to Gadi's and Efrat"s
once successful, even famous photo-studio
in Tel-Aviv,
still run by them despite their move
to Mitzpe-Ramon in 1998,
it now can be sold only at a great loss,
because of the uprise of digital photography.
Running a rented flat for hosting tourists in Mitzpe-Ramon
nicely upgraded in the style of a Van Gogh painting,
helps them make ends meet.

Moreover, Gadi and Efrat's mobility and dedication
are limited by four children at school age.


After having done some Breathing-Sounding-Moving
and having received good support from my daughter
and good advice from my daughter-in-love,
I packed a few things and much water for a very hot day,
walked to the other side of my town Modi'in
and started an inner journey parallel to my 6 hours hitchhiking.



The seventh driver was a Bedouin
who had pity on me.
But then he found out,
that I was "Rachel-leh" as he called me:
"About 10 years ago I was searching for some camels.
I ran out of water
and saw you in the middle of nowhere.
You gave me water and let me sleep in the big succah."

He asked me to drink tea in his tent, with the torn flag,

which I now remembered as depicted among the
"Hosting Businesses",
listed on a prospectus for Negev Tourism
which is magnetized to my fridge.
Later he drove me the last 20 km to the Succah,
where he - a familiar visitor - was welcomed
and listened to.
For the bitterness of the Bedouins in Israel is bottomless~~~

I met Avi, Abraham, in the kitchen of the Abraham Succah.
He wasn't pleased, but later he said, he knew, I would come.
"Let's talk while I'm preparing dinner!
The guests tonight include journalists."
"Oh no, Avi, let's not hurry,
I've all the time in the world."

And - unlike my usual self - I just hang around,
focusing on one thing - winning over Avi's trust.

Our history had been fear on his part and pain on my part.

But from this perspective
[02_10_10]
the process was perfect.

During dinner with the journalist from the Hebrew newspaper "Ha-aretz"
I was very cautious not to let her questions to me steal the show from Avi.
When we were on our own, Avi talked about all kinds of Desert issues.
It was only late at night, that we touched the hot iron.
I did not argue, I did not blame or plead, I only listened.
I did not protect Gadi, nor cause Avi to see the other side.
I did not ask him to make up for what he had done to Gadi.
I encouraged Avi to share the frustration, the anger, the pain,
which had led him towards "bringing in the guillotine",
as he said during a repetition of his story 2 days later.
And I asked him, if his sources had informed him
about the connection between us 2100 years ago.

Then I brought the talk to a close and went to sleep in "Sarah",
which once was the favorite succah of honeymooners,
and now was about to be dismantled and rebuilt,
which was the reason for photographing it from all angles.

 

That's what I saw in the morning sitting between "Sarah" and the water-jar:
the Hill of the Angels' Flight to the left,
then the Yitzkhaq-Isaac Succah in front of Mount Lekh-Lekha,
opposite me - the Rukhara and behind it the edge of the Ramon-Crater.
What always engulfs me in awe in the desert, is,
that by going 10 steps or by just moving my head 30 degrees
I see a totally different view - in this case the Abraham Succah
While the 2 pictures above were taken in the morning sun,
these 2 were taken in the evening sun, half an hour walk further to the south, at the edge of the Ramon-Crater
At first glance the view of the few volcanic remainders inside the [not volcanic!] crater seems to be almost the same.
But how different are the rock sculptures!


The next morning I climbed up the hill, until my mobile phone came alive,
and arranged a meeting with Gadi/Efrat at the junction to the Crater trail.

For hours in the morning and again in the afternoon I worked with them.

Identifying
Right
Place


2003_02_09


"Right Place" is an important concept in "Right Use of Will"
When we signed our "peace-document" on 2003_01_28,
Gadi said:
"I don't need the Succah to define my identity any longer,
I've found [I don't remember the exact wording] my right place."
