(no subject)

I'm listening to The Weepies (a fairly new favorite band for me) playing in a coffee shop in Iowa city over the Internet broadcast by Iowa Public Radio News. I'm reading a New York Times article about a child with cancer and his family. (Trigger warning: it is fairly descriptive of a child going through a very rough time.) The ending is a happy one, but what strikes me from the article is how little we know about anything in this world. I find this comforting, because it means there is so much more to learn and understand in this crazy world.

This is a great day for me.
