Despite an annoying first impression, the world actually sparkles with beauty- if you carefully look. John Burroughs once noted that, “The longer I live, the more my mind dwells upon the beauty and the wonder of the world.” But, the world is not just beautiful in some places; nay, its beauty, though often subtle, permeates all nature and circumstance. 

    Huck Finn, when asked by Ms. Watson, ‘Don’t you want to go to Heaven?’, responded that if it was just all sitting around on a cloud all day, playing a harp, then it sounded pretty dull, and he would just go wherever Tom was going. 

    It is as difficult to imagine a heaven without humor as it is without beauty. And the longer that I live, I find that humor permeates creation along with beauty.  

      If there is no humor in heaven, I reckon I'll just go with Tom and Huck.
