A prayer:
Master of the Universe,

Similarly allow me to go hard in actually reading them.
Sincerely,
Help I have a problem

@neilsharris "I don't understand what the issue is.
it's not so hard. and when it is, you tell Him it's hard.

In his latest essay, @fourthson29 reflects on how his relationship with R. Dov Singer helped him learn how to dance in every moment.
