Rage life is a bus ride

Yup

All I ever neede to know I learned in the B11

What's the B11?

It brought nice yeshiva boys and girls from flatbush to boropark and back

I guess it still exists

that's so funny
i think we ride the same bus

hey there.

hows it going.

isn't it interesting how we run away from Hashem...
and where do we wind up running to... to Him!

not by coincidence  either...

by design.
the ultimate mechanical engineer.

safety switch built in, to prevent us from permanently self destructing

Rage,
i identify in full blown rage.
it is a transition, in my lanwaj, from living IN the problem to moving on in life WITH the therapy behind you giving you the tools you need.

becoming dependant on anything means you are dependant, and not independant.
while there may still be bumps in the road, since u are still in this world, you have ten thousand % better chance of meeting them, with all your tools , and pictures of bear jews and baseball bats.

also, we need to reach out to stay sober, like u know from good old billy watson and the boys

i too am scared of reigniting judaism,back to the good times of heiliger dveykus and what not

i personally am not yet healthy enuff emotionally to handle it, give me some more time

but dave, you know what's so funny?

since SA is very religious, it gets me to be more religious. I am not going to church boruch HASHEM, but you know that when a ba'al tshuva becomes frum, he serves got with lots of sincerity and devotion. After time, some of them lose it with the rest of most people, to do mitzvos anashim melumada.

so in SA, i was reminded to be religious.
to me it means to be real, and serve god with worship and humility.
instead of singing the best at the bar mitzvah in a contest amongst family, i wanted to sing FOR God.

similarly, this year for rosh hashana-on the firstday, i did all my shmoneh esrays with high falutent intentuons and kavanos

the second day, i simply didnt feel i had the strength, so i did something that R' nachman suggests-
i just read the words like a little baby, just talking to someone else

i KNOW those prayers were better than the ones on the first day

because it was the real me-stripped of the oys and swaying and gaavah and various baggage i picked up while acting so long like everybody else

so im not ready to face judaism yet full throttle, but i see that by becoming more of the real me, it is happening anyways
thanks for listening dear
love,
tz90

I'm taking it easy. Thanks for the reminder, chevreinees

Read it in the 12&12, silly.

He's not "the other rebbe" he's "the-rebbe-who-shall-not-be-named"!
