In the times after my finding I have experienced times when I was searchingI soared to heights after I found and became foundBeing found is the foundation of humanity
To be found is to be grounded
The maximum is our minimum
G-d's expectations are our standards
His standards are our requisites
Our requisites should be our expectations - and no other
And only the grounded can flyThey begin to occupy a space not in place or timeAnd they ask, and it rains dimesThat land on their plates and in their mindsFrom the Most HighTimes when I've been searching since thenEven then the valleys were higher than the peaksWhich I reached before I saw and understoodMy lowest day in the past four yearsHas been higher than my highest day beforehandWhen life was crisisThose days are shattered to me, I can't even fathom themThey have sunk to uncountable fathomsWho dare say that G-d doesn't exist?!A man cannot rise out of despair by his own volitionG-d is a Savior and He lives foreverAnd it is the Gentle Hand of our L-rd, Hashem ha-Kadosh Baruch HuWho flings a soul up with the bend of His FingerDon't you know that men cannot fly?
I could not touch joy; I thought there was something wrong with me
The deep sadness that pervaded my vision, fading everything to gray
My heart imploded inside me, my sensation drained like blood from a vein
Joy was vain
Now I know what it was
I hated the drugs and sexual recreation of those my age
Once I knew of the latter, I let it go for Jacob's ladder
Only to know it later when the time has arrived to know
For those who don't know don't glow
It was not joy that I could not touch
It was falsehood, and our generation's folly is
The mixing of joy with falsehood
The idols with the healthy breasts -- see Isis
The idols with the clean-shaven chests and faces -- see Greek row
See 21st Century paganism there
In our institutions of higher learning
Who there has a higher yearning, a higher burning?
They are paving the paths of the future
We have been shown the pure way and more
We have been commanded it
G-d is our Light and Savior
He is our Lightsaver, our Lifesaver
The Floaty in the torrential ocean
And the evil past has been bound, choked, and drowned, murdered mercilessly
Beneath the waves of that ocean
Like a Titanic that won't ever be resurrected
Killed and broken in the depths of the ocean
Where there is no light
One day I can't write anythingAll I absorb or that I exude has to stay fresh in my mindThis is the most real state in which one can live
And that day is a sign of the future days
When all the world is the World to Come
Only now can I jot them downThis is the way one should live, not resorting to paper for his memory's sakeBut life should be written in the world
When this world has become the World to Come
The sun was dropping below the horizon to the west/northwestMaking a mockery of the luminescence of everythingA degree of brilliance not attainableIt shot me back to my childhoodWhen things were felt with such naturally-occuring charismaTo a place far away in space, to the holiest of landsIt reminded me of something that I saw thereAnd I can't quite place my finger on it, all I know is that it reminded meInside every adult is the version of the person whom they wereThe child who saw things unhindered, unobstructed by... what is the word?Life? No, for they saw lifePracticality? No, for only ideals are practicalReality? No, their version is realityPerhaps a word for which there is noneMaybe falsehoodThey are proof that the truth of G-d is euphoricBut only because it is G-d and truth is it euphoric
Those who know this are with G-d and they stay children forever
And then, how can the world grow old or anything in it?
Our King Solomon said, "Nothing is new under the sun."
