"The whole world is drugs"
R Shlomo Carlebach

That is
the whole world is distractions consumed to keep from feeling. This is what the physical world, the olam Hasheker, world of lies is made of.

This is what we do most all the time
take things
to keep us
from feeling
so hungry.

So hungry.

What's the alternative?
hurting is dying, encourages perpetuation of hurting
who needs it?

Only a Tzaddik
is willing to see God
so much
in everything
that the pain is beautiful enough
that he would give it up for anything.

The Baal Shem Tov once decreed
fasting is forbidden.
When something is forbidden,
it means you have to really want to do it
to even bother

If we really want to
we can stop taking drugs
this is the problem

Remember
when shabbos was illegal?
those must have been really high shabboses.

Shabbos remains awesome
only because
it's still a little bit illegal
to Really be In It.

Must I kill myself
a little all the time
to stay alive?

How could it be?

I just don't want to say no
to anything that smells that good
My Kidneys
are on the altar
of what?
