All that exists
is Him
and you.

Everything else is just interface.

Stepping upon an interlude of space with Him
I was just thinking what an interlude- a span in time-where I could meet G-d-would be like-I don't usually feel that way-what I feel is a damn of water that has let lose and overflowed in my heart allowing me to feel spiritually alive and well where nothing else has gotten through-that is my time-my interlude-myspecial points with G-d....Thanks for listening

Eternal gratitude ! (another poem for Chabad.)
i will always be Holy interfaced
because of what Torah traced.
i will always remember Chabad
bringing me to goodness, from bad.
i will always thank and pray in prayers
for teaching about Torah and soothsayers.
i will always love and recognise them
amending our deeds to glorify Ha-Shem .

The end.

Devotional poetry to G-d.
Dedicated to Chabad.

Interface
Coming down to truth and the truth of the situation: There is a feeling of isolation that is within the spirit and the soul that lingers on in between the stays that G-d has with you-during that time interface has more of a hold onto your abilities and drags them down until there is nothing left of your brain at-all-interface is like this-it's like working in a office and a bad bad song comes on and you are trying to remember that G-d is there meanwhile this this song is going on destroying your peace of mind. I usually stand in front of the mirror and remember that interface hasn't gotten all of my mind yet.

G-d knows I have a lesson to learn but doesn't always believe in the methods of the individuals I have met here....however he has made it clear it is exactly him and I together in this despite all that is going on and done in the negative by others....There is pain but G-d does not plant the pain there-individuals do. I love my life...I love the things that I do I feel G-d there every step and he sees the pain that they cause.

Responsible interpretations.
Hello Judith, i don't believe you are confused and nor do u need to apologise. Simply! I like to engage with commentary making pals, with positive connotations Your interpretations are often interesting and unique. Indeed, quite acceptable; as all the others. You, like all of us; should continue unabatedly to unleash your fresh; vistas,ideas and convictions sharingly. Plse take no offense, but expect to be robustly & academically challenged by us males, too!!

How true what you wrote me being a loner actually I can understand what you are talking about and I am not saying that I have bypassed the problem with relationships and interface but anyway I am in the midst of reading the articles I found from the search box. I am hoping my response was proper here sometimes if not all the time I do get confused...but I am in there trying-although the last, the very last one to finish the race-I AM reading the articles about interface now. Thank you Rabbi Tzvi Freeman for your response--I will comment later

ante selection
hello Judith, i am surprised that you chose the computer meaning of interface only. It does mention connection, but is so out of context .... spiritually speaking. The more expensive the dictionary the more meanings you will find. Always search for the most apt meaning. Never mind what is satirical is that you chose the computer meaning which is inept but we are all using computers to interface with one another & G-d is plugged in somehow somewhere and i bet His computers are interfaced with His angels.

Re: Dictionaries
An interface is a point where two systems, subjects, organizations, etc., meet and interact. If all that counts is the relationship between you & Him/Him & you, then everything else is nothing more than an interface to facilitate that relationship.

Try this: Use the "search" box on our site and look through all the instances of "interface".

Dictionaries
Interface..as a dictionary definition...actually means computer and printer if I'm not nistaken and I thought that was very interesting...I studied this one forever and a day and it seems to me I am cheated of just this kind of intimacy with G-d. Why is it I never feel quite alone with him-there is always a printer going or an E-Mail beeping...it is a small world after all!!!!!
