Hashem

Youre my G-d,
king of my life,
my guiding force,
a blinding light.

My home,
my shelter,
my strength,
my creator.

You're my father,
you're my king.
It's to you
all beings sing.

You're my fortress,my salvation,
sole protector of our nation.
You're company when I'm alone,
you keep watch on my home.

You lifted me from the pits,
brought me into your arms.
Held me closely at night,
kept me safe from all harm.

Your hugs are constant,
you never let go.
Life couldn't better,
that's one thing I know.

Even when I run,
looking to hide.
You wait for me patiently,
till I return to your side.

The world is a mirage,
but you are so real.
You can be found all over,
if just the shell we peel.

When I know you're sad,
I can't help but cry.
Your children have left you,
without even saying goodbye.

Daddy please stop this,
bring this galus to an end.
Our family will be one once more,
at home in Jerusalem.

Uri, you may not get what he is saying here, but I am absolutely nuts about the "deleted expletive" thing. Maybe it because it's getting late... ;D
But seriously, in essence, Mr RA Machine seems to be recommending that you do a gratitude list and start practicing living with it in the background.
Personally, I reserve the making of gratitude lists for when I am going out of my mind and can't sleep (after about an hour) or when I feel too nutty to be safe alone, which I am. Those times are fewer and farther between lately, BH!
Now, if I lived in Israel, I'd just call you, RA Machine and the rest of this goofy chevra and have one of those parties you were talking about, I guess. I'd even bring my tricycle. And I'd bring a sealed box of blended and denatured expletives for you, RA Machino!

Uri, Uri Shir Dabeiri... Uri is writing his own Tehhilim, like David Hamelech did... It is the Tehhilim of OUR generation!

P.S. I know that Dov sometimes posts a little "over our heads", but if you take the time to really read his posts and try to understand what he is saying - you will be AMAZED. Trust me. This is a Gadol in the area of SA Addiction recovery (on a tricycle).

Oy,

I missed it.javascript:void(0);

who suspected parties in Elul????

I guess I should have known better....
R' Shraga Feivel used to take the boys and do a rekida on Rosh Hashana.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  ;D ;D ;D

Uri, waiting for that thread with the transcript of the session...

i'm definitely going to use it as a tefilla when i need an extra push! Thanks uri! I was so happy when i saw you wrote it!

This Uri guy is unreal.

I'm not the most gushing complimentary person around, but in all honesty I've never seen a person spit out poems and songs at this rate. It's not normal.

His battle against the Yetzah Hara, that's been putting his audiance on a roller coaster, I getting a bit sick of all these twists and turns, B'H it appears the worst of the drops are over and we are steadily climbing a hill with no top in sight.

B'Hatzlacha Uri

i printed it and put in in my room in the same hiding spot as the attitude handbook! i'm building up my ammunition and this just won a place!
Thank you, uri!

RAM,

I'm starting to like you more & more.

Your Funny & say it as it is.

Someone is turning into a flake before our very own eyes...

I didn't want to say it,...

But now that you mentioned it..

I'ts amazing how fast he went from thinking he was sane to joining the rest of us lunatics i.e. FLAKE

u should see some of what he started writing on his own thread.
stuff about his tatte and such
and his sensitive posts to people having a rough time.
to be honest,i think hes getting to be a bit too flaky for the forum.
tone it down,please Cry at the Machine
-uri

i never pretended to be sane...sanity is a full time job in this world that is always changing...i already have a full time job....but there is a big difference between a raging lunatic, such as myself, and a sappy flake...i wish i can give you an example of a sappy flake but i dont know any...never met a one...no siree...there are no sappy flakes here, just us chickens...

That was a very funny line! We should change his name to CAM.

yeah! chutzpa to make fun of our flakiness- and on the email 2!
i was rolling my head off! lol!
poetry/songwringing flakiness rules!!!!!
