Complicated Δ Simple

There has definitely been an increase within the smiles department of my life lately and it’s quite welcomed – obnoxious declarations of happiness were my world in the last blog and not much has changed. :o) The smiles continue each day...

There are two quotes tonight that reached to me. I have decided to go with the more ambiguous of the two, as one has a message so clear that it could cause an outcry of questions, which makes the quote I am going to choose even more appropriate.

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” ~Dr. Seuss

For those who know me... I am a fan of Seuss quotes. The quotes themselves bring with them simplicity in complexity and this one hits the spot for multiple reasons... including the fact that it speaks to the style.

Complicated questions with simple answers are hard to wrap the head around at times. Whether it’s a question from inward or coming from an outside source, I lean to complicated answers for complicated questions... which sometimes isn't the best route to an answer.

I have asked myself a couple of complicated questions recently and have given myself extremely simple answers. It is in the rawness of a simple answer that one can find significant truth. Don’t misunderstand me... even when the conclusion is a simple truth... introspection and analysis are integral parts of the answer most times... but in the end there are some truths we can find that don’t have clear logic and that is okay. At these times... it just is what it is... and it is in these moments we can find an answer that holds overwhelming clarity even in simplicity.
