The pictures are the pictures but I feel rather disconnected. I pretend that I am having a good time.

Tzemach, why is it that the Iben Ezra on Koheles means so much more to me than the pictures from the Holy Land or the experience of Crown Heighst simchas Beis HaShoeivoah? i don't know. it is so sad.

We are talking a different sadness, faruq.

tzemach,
funny that i came across your blog on the web a few weeks ago by sheer coincidence, and today just noticed myself in the background in one of your photos from nachlaot..(i was @ pesah's vort in the brodt's sukkah that night.)

anyways, you posted a couple of things (incl. other peoples' comments) about essentially being depressed with the state of people's sincerity in the pursuit of serving G-d and doing actual good rather than just lipservice.

just wanted to pipe in and say that people are out there doing that..but very few of them have a public face. most of them are busy doing things, rather than getting recognized for it.

work on your inner happiness, make sure every day you are moving forward, and stop worrying/thinking about how much work there's left to do.

that's how i get by.
