A good friend of mine, Kirk, has a pretty strong fear of birds. This lovable guy has to be an ornithophobe’s (that’s my big word of the day) worst nightmare. As ugly as this thing is, these people really seem to love it. That just proves that real beauty lies within. Now if only we could give the real people we meet the same treatment, the same benefit of the doubt. (Though maybe we’d think anyone who can dance and sing like this is cool.)
