The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is. To update Churchill: The truth is incontrovertible; pity may ignore it, care might conceal it, but in the end; there it is.
Just an attempt at perverse affirmation. Your epistle got me thinking how I can't seem to accept any compliment gracefully. My reasons probably have plenty to do with not trusting people, whereas yours likely have more to do with valuing truth.
If Keats is anywhere near the right track, perhaps the beauty folks comment on has a lot to do with that recognizing that pursuit of truth--but having insufficiently honest ways to acknowledge it. A problem of vocabulary. Maybe Monk cut closest to the chase, naming a tune "Ugly Beauty," making the qualities apparent enough but inseparable.
As for the pic, yeah moonfaced & starry-eyed I guess (see your Churchill & raise you Johnny Mercer) you won't win any beauty pageants. Truth pageants on the other hand--
Hi there :) It's been a very long time since I've stopped by to say hello, but I was just reminded of you and that year that you were Mickey's Mommy. I thought I'd share a picture or two with you, just to make you smile.
Oh Ginny thank you!! I miss that dog so much and talk about her all the time! I even miss the way she'd drag me through the streets when I took her for walks, haha! I'm going to forward these pics to Scott, I'm sure he'll love to see her too.

If I'm okay with it, why can't the rest of the world be?
