Following my
understanding and new lekh-lekhâ on January 1, 2009,
that - after 7 years
- I should no longer create new pages on my 2 websites,
but intermingle the evidence of new experiences with that on existing
pages,
Since March 2009 I am "synchronizing" the chronological
process of the Godchannel.com files
with the chronological process of my photos and -
if there should be time - observations of the
"Walk About Love"
continuation
of March 4, 2009 last
update: 2009_06_20
Eran - far above and not visible - asked us by
radio-connection - to not climb up with the people before us,
but to look, if we could go around the mountain and meet them
on the other side
So Rivka, Eilam and Galit and I split off
the group and enjoy a relatively easy descent and a wonderful
togetherness
I take a photo of the "Spiral Hill"
for Mika, my granddauther,
whom I taught to be enthusiastic about spirals already when she
was 2 years old
and even nowadays, whenever she leaves for
kindergarden in her mother's car and I am with them at Bet
Nehemya,
she asks me to draw spirals on the dusty window and then, when
the car turns into the street , to draw spirals in the air.
But when I showed her the spiral hill, she couldn't grasp the
three-dimensionality of the spiral.
Our little group arrives at this edge of
Timna, and Rivka is still my friend....
I'm not into learning historical details
- since all my attention is focused on people and on my vocation
of teaching them "SELF-ACCEPTANCE",-
but I seem to have heard, that long before King Solomon the Egyptians
had discovered the copper treasures at Timna.
That night - between March 4 and 5, 2009 -
we spent at Timna/ Sasgon Valley
The evening "circle" was quite
troubled, first of all because we were told, that the group had
to split.
So the next morning, March 5, 2009, Mark sets out with 17 walkers
only and with all their luggage on their back.
I can discern Daniela (Israel), Yava (Lithuania) , Daniela and
Daniela's dog and Richard (Holland)
The rest of us - some 55 people - set out
for the Festival at Shittim
Since I knew, I could not carry my backpack + water on the difficult
trail,
I felt forced to join those, who would go straight to the Festival,
to which I did not want to go in the first place.
But since I - as others - had no alternative but going home,
I decided to stay with the people and watch,
if my strong opposition to the Festival could transform into acceptance.
I had to conversations with others who were just as strongly opposed:
- With Tom, who told me, that she had asked the organizers,
what people who did not want to join the Festival , should do:
"That's your problem!"
she was told.
"The Festival was planned from
the beginning and you knew it!"
Tom asked me a rethorical question:
"It's my birthday on this weekend,
and I wanted to celebrate it amidst the walkers.
Do I now have to go to Tel-Aviv to celebrate it with my friends
there?"
Doron, even younger than Tom, was also totally against the Festival.
But I won him over to come with me by pointing out the program
for the first day:
"the entire day will be dedicated
to Arab-Israeli 'sulha' - reconciliation,"
Eran had said the night before, when he explained the program
for the next 5 days.
Little did I know, that what would be realized of this promise,
was --- shameful and pathetic...
After a walk of 4 km to Timna, we are waiting for the bus which
we have hired for 800 NIS (each one pays)
and some of our musicians -like Angelica (Germany) with her violin
- play rightaway
I , too, dance to the music, if I'm not
busy with photographing
We reach the Ashram of Shittim and organize
ourselves underneath a huge netshade.
And again, people make music
The
message, which followed "the Language of Heaven"
was "The first
Interview with God" ,
but since all the five Interviews with God together with
the five "Interviews with
the Folks"
served as a basis for the photos of an experience in February
2009,
i.e. before I even knew about "the Walk about Love",
