See Brachos 57b

That Brachos 57b almost triggered me (till I realized it was only the havamina - what a let-down).

Shabbat Shalom (a sunny one? or a "Sandy" one?)

MT

havaamina means something very significant having great levels of truth within it, including the havaamina of that gemorah, but its not meant to trigger-its meant to realize the deeper aspects behind it

:-[ I guess I'm also one of those a-d-d... guys.

Have a 'good' and 'holy' Shabbos

MT

BTW, Sandy was the name i used when I was making sex phone calls with women all day and night back in the day...I act out with a fake name, fake identity, and choose a name that i feel is a bit sexy. I was disappointed when the news people were referring to "Sandy" as a female name! I thought it was a fine name for a :-[ guy! I am insulted now!

Who does one complain to about this gender abuse? The National Weather Service? The Artist Formerly Known As Prince? Can the Agudath Israel of America help me out, here? Where are they when you really need them, I wonder?

OK, a bit more serious (sorry Yechida, but this thread is too serious today so there was the comic relief):

Maybe that is why I see how toxic the username thing is for guys who want to recover. The username is a way to present a facade. Not really a way to finally open up and say the truth, but a way to feel like one is opening up and finally saying the truth.

Nu. You get what you pay for.

And now back to our regular programming.

(So that was you 'Sandy'? I was that 'woman' you 'thought' you were talking to.)

Very funny.

Really!

Powerful Hurricane
High winds, Rising waves
Rain horizontal
Dark clouds swirling above
As angry waves crash below

Even now
The Sun shines peacefully
Brightly & smiling

Up there
It’s peaceful ,light, joyous
Not affected at all
By the turmoil below

This is the power of Emunah & Bitachon
When though down here
Beneath the dark clouds &
Swirling winds & pouring rain
Darkness envelopes us
We still feel what is Above
God’s face shining on us
Peacefully, Calmly, Joyous

That is the gift of a Jew
He is never in the darkness of a hurricane
He is above the dark clouds
With the warm sun & its light
Healing his soul
Escaping the turbulence
Wherein his physical self resides

For deep within him
Is the calm beautiful soul
Unaffected & untainted
By the terrible weather
That may surround him

How did that ghetto poem on the wall go? "I believe in love even though I feel none, I believe in G-d even though I don't see Him, etc..."

Siddur,siddur
May the words within you
Enter the depths of my heart
So that I can articulate
The song of my soul
That sings these words
To my Creator

You sound like Rabbi Kook [that's a compliment].

I dunno, sounds like more of Masaoka Shiki's haiku, to me.

now I understand why people call me "shiki-kook"
