  2. "The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks.... The first idea merely supposes there is something we don't know about, and God knows there are enough of those. The second, however, runs contrary to something fundamental and human which we do know about. We should therefore be very suspicious of it and all its specious rationality."
    from The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, by Douglas Adams.

  3. #TunesOnTuesday shares the second draft of "Improbable" which I started work on last month. I'm spending time this month reviewing and revising my songs as part of planning some recording projects for the next year or so. ohljazz.com/2024/02/13/tunes-o #jazz #jazzmusic #songwriter #songwriting #composer #lyrics #piano #jazzpiano #music #musician #instamusic #improbable #jazztodon

  12. #Introduction

    You are #Special.

    The #Universe is 68% #DarkEnergy & 27% #DarkMatter. The rest - everything we can detect & experience, everything we know, all #OrdinaryMatter - is less than 5% of the universe.

    Of that 5%, think of the immensely small percentage that is #Life.

    Of that immensely small percentage of that 5% that is life, think of the absurdly small percentage that is #IntelligentLife.

    You are #Fringe, the most #Improbable & #Unimaginable thing to exist in the universe.
