The good thing about being a fanfic writer who turned pro is that if you know nobody will read (or even think to look for) a crossover between Family Ties and Taxi where Elyse becomes a mechanic at the Sunshine Cab Company and ends up having a torrid affair with Elaine, you can just say “But maybe they WILL read an original romance about a cab driver and a mechanic set in the 80s...”
And that’s where writers get their ideas.

It’s not pity. The poems really were thoughtful, and Jim is special.

I don’t have internet for my apartment yet, so I’m just binging through my Taxi dvd set. I love these cabbies.

Can I talk about why I love this?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, here’s the scene for those of you who aren’t intimately familiar with Taxi:
Elaine has just broken up with her boyfriend when she starts receiving anonymous poetry. Unbeknownst to her, it’s being sent by Jim, the resident sixties burnout. He wanted to make her feel better, even though he’s so brain-fried from having done every single drug that exists he couldn’t even find a library from which to get a book of poetry from so he had to write his own.
Another guy takes credit for the poetry, at which point Judd Hirsch has to step in and tell Elaine that the cute guy she likes wasn’t writing her the poems- it was the weird guy who couldn’t remember his last name or eye color when they brought him to take his driving test. Humiliated, she goes home, bemoaning the lack of castles in her life, only to find one waiting for her.
Here’s the thing. Jim claims that he’s not in love with her any more than he’s in love with all living things (and claims to mail poetry to all living things, for what it’s worth) but I really, really get the vibe that he’s at least a little bit in traditional love with her. He didn’t tell her he was writing the poems, though, because he knew she wouldn’t return his feelings. Jim’s aware of what he is and what he has to offer. As he put it, she only wants to know who wrote the poems because she doesn’t know who wrote the poems.
When he sees that his plan backfired and now she feels worse, he does the only thing he can think of: to prove she’s wrong about her castle potential. He dismantles his van even after he sees her reaction to being told he was the one writing her the poetry. When he knows he isn’t going to get anything romantic from her, if indeed he is in love with her. And if he wasn’t actually in love with her, then he dismantled his van and build a castle for someone who’s only been his coworker for a few weeks. He wants to see her smile.
And, granted, it does seem as though he held out hope that this would win her over:
Jim: Hey, how ‘bout I crash here for a year or so? ... I know, I’m not every woman’s dreamboat.
Elaine: You are the dearest, sweetest, most wonderful person.
Jim: I think you’re right. Funny thing... there used to be a time when that was enough.
But he exits gracefully without putting any expectations on her. No guilt that he now has no transportation of his own (I think he might have been living in the van at this point, too.) No insistence that if she loved what’s-his-name when she thought he wrote the poetry, she should love him for the same poetry. He built her the castle to make her feel better, and that’s all he needed in return. Whether or not he wanted more, he’s still okay with just getting her smile and a hug. Because he’s a nice guy.
I love this character, I love Christopher Lloyd’s performance, and I like the example this sets. Don’t do something for somebody to make them fall in love with you. Do something for someone just because you love them.

La adoración extravagante...
Tumblr media
Lea: Juan 11:55-12:11
Entonces María tomó una libra de perfume de nardo puro, de mucho precio, y ungió los pies de Jesús y los secó con sus cabellos; y la casa se llenó del olor del perfume. Juan 12:3
Yo estoy convencido de que Juan decidió incluir este relato para que nosotros pudiésemos entender algo de lo que significa la verdadera adoración. La adoración es el centro de la vida cristiana. María tomó una libra de perfume caro y lo derramó sobre Jesús. Más adelante, Judas se quedó asombrado por lo extravagante que resultaba usar lo que, de hecho, era el salario de un año de un obrero, para ungir los pies de Jesús. Este relato deja muy claro que ella había entendido la obra de Jesús y el cambio que se había producido en su corazón. Ella había sentido un profundo aprecio, no sólo porque su hermano Lázaro había sido sanado, sino por la magnífica enseñanza que escuchó de Él estando ella sentada a Sus pies. Esto es lo que explica la extravagancia de ella aquí. Ella no escatimó el menor gasto, y nada le importaron las costumbres de su época, participando en una cena en la que generalmente las mujeres no eran bienvenidas, dejándose el pelo suelto en público, algo que resultaba impensable en esa cultura, expresando abiertamente su amor a Jesús. Pero así es como actúan el amor y la adoración, sea cual fuere el precio.
Yo no sé lo que hoy en día traen los jóvenes para expresar su amor a las mujeres jóvenes, pero cuando yo era joven, era una docena de hermosas rosas. Recuerdo haber buscado en el fondo de mi bolsillo en una ocasión lo que parecía ser entonces una enorme cantidad de dinero por una docena de estas rosas para una muchacha joven, pero el amor no tiene en cuenta cosas como puedan ser el precio.
Un año me pasé el verano entero viajando y hablando por todo el país, mientras mi esposa tuvo que quedarse en casa de sus padres con nuestras dos hijas pequeñas. Un día cuando estaba en Buffalo, Nueva York, comencé a sentir lástima por ella al pensar que estaba cuidando de las niñas y trabajando mucho, mientras yo estaba libre para viajar y conocer a personas emocionantes. Sentí grandes deseos de expresarle mis sentimientos de amor, aprecio y gratitud. Al andar por una calle en Buffalo vi un precioso abrigo de pieles en un escaparate. Sin embargo, el precio era mucho más de lo que yo podía costear. Yo deseaba llevarle aquel abrigo a casa a Elaine para mostrarle mi aprecio por todo lo que ella había hecho ese verano. Mi compañero, bastante rico y compasivo, simpatizó conmigo cuando le dije lo que deseaba hacer, se mostró muy comprensivo y se ofreció a prestarme el dinero para comprar el abrigo. Llegamos a un acuerdo que me permitió devolverle unos cuantos dólares cada semana, y compré el abrigo. Cuando llegué a casa y le entregué a mi esposa aquel increíble regalo, que nunca podríamos haber costeado, se quedó asombrada y encantada. Hasta el día de hoy ese abrigo sigue colgado en un armario en nuestra casa. No creo que ella pudiese soportar la idea de deshacerse de él, porque representa un regalo de amor, una extravagancia que el amor se deleita en ofrecer para mostrar lo que se siente en lo profundo del corazón.
Una vez más, vemos que el amor y la adoración no tienen en cuenta el precio. La adoración es un corazón transformado que expresa lo que siente, sin tener en cuenta el precio.
Señor, Tú mereces el más extravagante regalo. Enséñame a adorarte con un amor que se deleita en dar.
Aplicación a la vida:
La adoración es la esencia de la auténtica oración. ¿Se caracterizan nuestras oraciones por la adoración, la gratitud por quien es Dios y por Su amor inequívoco y pródigo hacia nosotros expresado en el don de Su Hijo, nuestro Salvador?
(Ray Stedman).
