Some may wonder where I got this sense of the ridiculous. The truth of the matter is that we are all ridiculous and so is the situation we are in. We don't know who or what we are. We aren't sure where we came from. We really have no idea why we're here; or for that matter where here is in the absolute sense. We don't know if there is something after this or if this is all there is. How much more ridiculous can you get?
Right away many will say that they have all the answers in a book but that's a belief. Different people get their beliefs from different books and they all consider them the ultimate truth. Some may even be very sure about those beliefs but the truth is we don't really KNOW. We all have to have some basic beliefs to live our lives by (I certainly do) but a belief is not knowing for sure.
One thing I do know is that laughing beats crying all hollow, so I try to squeeze as many laughs as I can out of my short span of years. I am very certain that whatever power put us here, we are not meant to be miserable, otherwise why is there so much beauty all around us? The Navajos call a balanced, contented life,"Walking in beauty". I think they may be onto something.

Home sweet home
I was 68 years old when I built this log cabin to live in on my 40 acres in Oklahoma. The only power tool I used was a chain saw to fell the trees. The rest was all done with hand tools. The logs were squared off with the foot adze I am holding in the picture and the logs were then skidded through the woods by a jackass (ME). Some had to be dragged a quarter mile. The only help I had was a friend helping with the two top courses of logs. The wall was too high for me to do it by myself at that point. Everything is fitted together. The only nails are the ones that hold the roofing on. JUST LISTEN TO THAT OL' BOY BRAG. ;-] And look at all the junk he flung out the door. Why I believe that's a real live redneck.
