2020 will be remembered forever: life has changed; activities and growth have slowed down, the planet ‘took time off.’ Nowadays, we pay more attention to our health; due to stress, we react more violently to injustice. The world seems to have come to a standstill not knowing what to do next. It becomes necessary to understand what the world is in its essence. And to choose the right path. Some time ago, I received a gift of fate—got to know…..
Read moreSoft light. The lake covered with fog. And it seems that the wet air envelops you from head to toe. The contours are blurred. A swan is moving towards us. The sense of reality is lost. It takes us some time to realize that these are not the wings but the arms with curved elbows and drooping hands. Tiny steps with the feet, pas de bourrée… The flutter of wings. A strong, beautiful creature is fighting for life. In defiance…..
Read moreMajestic — such would we see Columbus in the last days of his life. Seville. A small house. A tidy white room. Severe gout prevents Columbus from getting out of bed for a long time now. He looks at his hands and doesn’t recognize them. Medicated poultices only help for a short while. But behind this unbearable pain, he feels… harmony. The rightness of everything that happened to him. The shackles hang in the corner. Yes! Shackles! His destiny played…..
Read more“Mom loves you….” “And I love you too, mommy….” Tosia came to my office from a distant southern kibbutz. Had a jolty two-hour bus ride to the town. And she’s already an old woman… What brought her here? She seemed to burst into tears right away, but instead, she got her hand into the backpack and pulled out a few plastic bags. In one of them — a slice of pita bread and a can of water. In the other,…..
Read moreIn the morning, there is a ring at the door. A bouquet and a box are handed over to me. “H’m,” not quite awake yet I begin to reflect. “My birthday has already passed, the New Year won’t be any time soon, and I don’t seem to have any secret admirers. It must be a mistake.” Carefully, I take the card out of the bouquet: “From Marek and Esther Kelson”. Oh! My darlings! I love them. Marek is a professor…..
Read more“Misfortunes never come singly”, I made a not quite apropos comment when my father was diagnosed with cancer. In this phrase, resignation, hopelessness is felt. But this time, we have decided otherwise. We fly to Israel; medicine is up to standard there. We will do an examination once again and will act depending on the circumstances. And the father’s brother flies in too, from another country. Nowadays, politics are so tangled that we have not seen each other for a…..
Read moreIrrational actions At last. I received it. A call from my female friend. I am very happy to hear her voice. Since childhood, we were thick as thieves and a few weeks ago, she and her husband left for Israel. To live there. I miss her… Her voice is ‘dim’. “How are you? Go ahead, tell me!” I expect something very bright, sunny. “It’s okay…We have started the process of obtaining documents, live with the relatives at the moment. A…..
Read moreA big chance. In the morning, I have received a proposal from my theater — to play a part in the “Red Sea. Crossing” performance. The role of Miriam. The great prophetess. My heart began to beat faster because of joy. And to tremble — because of the responsibility that fell to me. Her image has always meant a lot to me. And it was hard to believe that I would perform that very dance of Miriam. The dance with…..
