Rejection is God’s way of saying I don’t like you. He loves of course but his love for Samuel was merely obligation. Like a she-wolf to her runt, God treated him the worst and hoped he’d be the first to go. Samuel knew this; it wasn’t just the assurances of family and neighbors but his own belief as well. He didn’t go to church this Sunday morning. Why revere someone who doesn’t like you? Instead he chose to visit the small tavern in the center of the village.
The one commodity he had was youth. His teeth were chipped and yellowed, his hair resembled clotted tar, and his eyes which were too far apart, gave him the appearance of a fish. His heavy heel on the cobbled streets gave warning to anyone near. He lacked the quick step common among young men. He put his weight on one leg and dragged the other; the blind could tell he was coming. When they heard him closing in they went to any length to hide. Some held upside down books as if reading, others jumped up and felt their way into hidden corners. Samuel was a reject, a glass without a bottom, and he suffered through all the misfortunes that entails.
