Imagine swallowing
your saliva.
Do it.
Now imagine spitting
in a cup.
Imagine swallowing
that spit.
Do it.
Imagine hugging
yourself.
Do it.
Now imagine hugging
someone
you despise.
Do it.
It’s all in your mind.
“Disgust” is inspired by the Introduction to Richard Beck’s 2011 book, Unclean: Meditations on purity, hospitality, and mortality.
Go and learn what this means: “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” – Matthew 9:13
