I’ll be making some of my Shiznizzle Bam Snip Snap Snap honey mustard and cooking up a batch of hot peanuts to put in jars.

Y’all can go ahead for the obvious joke there.

The real good kids will get a beer. A porter.

No, I am no existentialist. While I believe there are larger things connecting events than mere logic, I do not lament the Absurd. (They make for good reading, however.)

Yes, it’s all absurd! The fossil record will show that being smart and self-aware was no advantage in the history of life.

How lovely. Time and organization. Time and chaos. I love the connection. Thanks for your comment and I love your idea of “ritual”. Our family is always trying to create and evolve rituals–on both grand and small scales.

I loved your idea about needing chaos. I am a retired teacher and about 7 years ago I took a personality test along with several other teachers. Only two of us turned out to be ENTJ’s – We thrive on organized chaos. That idea has since stuck with me. I really do like chaos, but I like to keep it orderly.

For the last 9 years I have had a summer solstice party, and I try to have some spiritual theme. Last year when we were planning, one of the ladies said she never had enough time. I said that I would make TIME our theme for 2010. So I started researching time, and read somewhere that if we didn’t have time, everything could be coming to us at once. Time gives us order. You mentioned that patterns give us order. Time and patterns do run in cycles, so I see the connection.

Sidebar: I am trying to think of my daily patterns as “rituals”. I try to think about what I am doing during these times and live in the present since that is all we really have.
