Beginning this Friday, we will be hosting the latest Ordinary Times Symposium. The topic will be Love.
Consider this a call for submissions.
As with all OT Symposiums, writers are encouraged to go wherever the topic takes them. And with a topic like Love, that can be almost anywhere:
Romance, sexual attraction, or the cold and harsh realities of obligation that love tethers one to are all fair game. So too is sibling love, parental love, the love of a good book, the love of a God for his children or a Labrador for his owner. Love is, after all, a many splendored thing, but it can be just as magnificent in its cruelty as its tenderness. Love has inspired the most sublime poetry and music ever written. On the other hand, let’s be honest: it has also inspired the worst.
Where will Love take you?
Please send submissions to me at the email address below, or to any of the other editors. And if you know of someone you think we should reach out to for the symposium, please let us know either by email or in the comments section below.
Thanks.

I will write about being in a long distance relationship besides always being suspicious of them.
Suspicious is the wrong word. Cautious against them.
I predict we are going to get sudden visits by lots of MRAs activists. Its going to be fun people.
Never type the letters EM-ARE-EH. It summons them.
Maybe I can get them to do my bidding.
I always knew you were evil.

Oh never mind.
I do not believe I will be able to participate, as I have a seemingly incurable case of the hiccups.
This would be the anti-thesis of love.
