Thursday August 10. 2023

So we were walking outside and my four year old daughter mentioned she doesn’t like the sidewalk, because it’s all broken and bumpy. “And why, Totty?” “How did the sidewalk break, Totty?”

I explained : “The tree right nearby used to be much littler. Just like you, Raizy! And it grows very slowly, but a little bit at a time, maybe every day. The little teeny roots go into the ground, to drink the water that helps the tree grow strong. And the roots grew. They got thicker and stronger, they grew and they grew! And even though the sidewalk is made out of strong, thick, cold cement- the roots were strong enough to pick up the cement, to crack it open and break it. Could you believe it?! Such strong cement - so cold and hard! Little roots can smash it! Can you believe it!!?”

OY! Gevalt! Roots! As they nestle, burrowing deeper into the sweet, deep places in the ground where there is water and nutrients for life; they have grown stronger and thicker, verdant and coursing with heady, rich Chaim…

They’re gonna have to build a whole new sidewalk, maybe in a different direction entirely.

I have tears in my eyes.

I would like to invite you, my close, close friends
to a Seudas Hoda'ah in honor of my achieving 90 days of Tahara, בעזה"י.
In honor of 3 Chodoshim Retzufun, in honor of establishing a Chazaka; of becoming a Misulekes Damim.
הַצִּילֵנִי מִדָּמִים אֶלֹקים אֱלֹקי תְשׁוּעָתִי תְּרַנֵּן לְשׁוֹנִי צִדְקָתֶךָ:

The Seuda will take place Bshaa Tova U'Mutzlachas on this coming Sunday night פ' שופטים, in the hours before midnight.
You may join wherever you are. You may wear pajamas

The program is as follows:
Appetizer: A L'Chaim of your choice.
First Course: 10 Kappitlach Tehillim of your choice.For you. For me. For all Yiddishe Kinder on and off GYE. For the Rebono Shel Olam who is suffering seeing his precious children struggling in the mud. And with heartfelt thanks to Him for the Heilige Torah, for holy Chaveirim, and for Rabbeim.
With Hodaah Al Haavar and Bakasha Al Ha’asid.
Please try to season your Tehillim with tears. I’ll have enough to go around.
Second Course: A Blatt Gemora. Ah Mechaya!
Dessert: Another Lichaim. (Woodford, wine, or even tequila, as long as its obscenely expensive)

Please RSVP here. Cordnoy, Eerie, Richtig, Grant, IMG, Captain, Vehkam, Benny, Heeling, Redfaced, Shmira, Jewish and so many sweet and holy others:
Please let me know if you can make it. It would mean a lot to me. I have been too lonely for far longer than I care to think about.

And finally: To the one who reached out on that very first day: "give me a call tzaddik"....
שלוחא דרחמנא
משביר, מכלכל, מחנך, מחייב, מרומם, מגביה שפלים ומתיר אסורים ,
כאשר ישא האומן את היונק
You are the one in whose eyes I saw reflected something I still can't put into words
and that has made all the difference...
נפשי אני חייב לך….

I feel like you're being stingy on the L"chaim, But hey I'm In . Wouldn't miss it for anything

May you slide down the banister of happiness and get many splinters of success up your career

Feel free to send me an owl, a howler, or even a Crumple-Horned Snorkack to Iamredfaced@gmail.com

Loneliness may perhaps be the feeling when one’s internal landscape can’t be shared and appreciated. Meeting those with whom I have shared the texture of my Neshoma, and feeling theirs, all with a warm hug, understanding in the eyes, and a hearzige smile: it’s a mechaya mamash. Looking forward to tonight.

I felt that bear hug all shabbos.

I woke up in the middle of the night on friday night to feed my baby , & all I could think of Was my meeting with the Helige R Chaim .

Something that I strongly encourage all those that are holding back on to experience.

It has been 100, blessed days, with Hashem's help. Days of clarity and hope.

In honor of you, my friends, I wrote you this Ode (started it on Shmira's thread last night.)

I know a whole lot of people
Befriended a whole lot of friends
But for you special guys -
                  on Guard Your Eyes
I would go to all the worlds-ends.

For you've known the shapes of my struggles
Understand the true shape of my fears
I have showed you the landscape
                            of shadowy places
Together we've shed some few tears.

And this wholeness I've found in this hallowed space
Has lifted me forever free
With my new friends here on - and off - GYE
I have come now to know the real me
                 I am coming to BECOMING real me.

Please stay close.......
