incomprehensible

“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible."
-Albert Einstein

I read "
A U.S. Navy Blue Angels F/A-18 has crashed in an "enormous fireball" during an air show in South Carolina, killing the pilot as his family watched."
Can you imagine watching someone in your family crash like that? I can't imagine that kind of helplessness.

One of the most powerful bits of a film that I have ever seen was the part of Bowling for Colombine when it shows all of the people dying while (Ray Charles?) sings "Oh What a Wonderful World."

The craziest thing is that it is a wonderful world. It really is, despite it all.

(meanwhile in my tiny life, I got superior ratings on my cello solo, violin solo, octet, and duet with Erin, but a 2 on my piano solo.)
