No, No, No! Not EASY!

Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains. ~ Steve Jobs
It's not the detailed, the ornate, the busy pieces of art
that catch my eye. I've no need to perform analysis,
do a detailed critique of a work of art, verbal or artistic,
before I know whether it appeals or not. And most elaborate,
ornamental, busy pieces leave me cold. But not the simple.
Not those awesome scenes so filled with beauty, with simplicity,
with the God-presence.
The same is true with the ornate analyses I weave.
They may be creative, original, well-thought-out…
but that means they're false, for the real, the worthy, the meaningful
is just as simple when talking of ideas as when looking at photos,
those that come closer to the baseline truth, to the God I don't understand…
those that speak the truth I seek, I'll know because they are nowhere near easy
but simple, they have nailed!
