Solid Comfort

May 15 2022 | Sunday

Hello, Sarah Mary Williams George Peters.

In the novel, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, when Huck is living with his father in an old cabin in the woods, there is an illustration in which Huck is sitting, in a very relaxed manner, on the ground, leaning against a tree, looking very comfortable, and the illustration is entitled, 'Solid Comfort,' and it just cracked me up.

In Huck's words, "It was kind of lazy and jolly, laying off comfortable all day, smoking and fishing, and no books nor study." I do not condone smoking and I love books, and I've never been fishing in my whole life, but other than all of that, I acknowledge that Huck really knows how to relax and have a good time. I understand that the state of 'solid comfort' may be different for all of us, but I'm pretty sure it's equally sweet for all of us. What does solid comfort mean for you?
