May Unloved

More From John Ortberg

Thick february mists cling heavily to the dead earth and to each leafless tree, and closer down upon the hilltops draw, dull forecasts there of bright, sure-coming spring; yet the heart gathers hope and strange delight from this dear, unlovely, wished-for sight of leaden-misted twilights lengthening.
Spring Twilight Heart
Although you feel relief now, this is likely to be the source of many sleepless nights for you. you will lie awake, look upon your heart, and find it unlovely. you will be certain that (...) you are the greatest of monsters. this is a good thing; although you may forgive yourself, you must never come to think that your actions were in any way justifiable. but- (...) being a sane, honorable human being is not always comfortable.

Consider the oddity of those drug commercials on television. fifteen seconds of the purported therapeutic effort, followed by about 45 seconds of a rapidly muttered list of horrific possible side effects. when the ad is over, i can't remember a thing about what the pill is supposed to do, except perhaps cause nausea, liver damage, projectile vomiting, a nasty rash, a four-hour erection, and sudden death. sudden death is my favorite because there is something comical about it being a side effect. what exactly is the main effect in that case? relief from abdominal bloating?

Sir andrew ague-cheek: i'll stay a month longer. i am a fellow o' the strangest mind i' the world; i delight in masques and revels sometimes altogether (he's an oddity in that he enjoys having fun)
Fun Oddities Mind
Yes, you know sometimes, we started out thinking out how strange our painting was next to normal painting, which was anything expressionist. you forget that this has been thirty five years now and people don't look at it as if it were some kind of oddity.
