God provides.

It's a complete sentece with a noun and a verb; a subject and a predicate. A whole and complete thought. Simple and complex all at once.



On a randomized side-note: Look at the grand simplicity of life, perhaps focus on a tree. Yet, upon a closer look it’s not all that simple. There is complexity in the simplicity of life, each planned cell, the DNA, the very fact that a zillion cells can create a unified mass such as Fido or a maple tree. If we are to follow Emerson (or was itThoreau?) and God at the admonishment to lead a simple life, is there complexity in that simplicity?

there is profundity in that simple thought!

When I think about simplicity, I think about Chesterton Saying:

Because children have abounding vitality, because they
are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated
and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up
person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people
are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is
strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says
every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening,
"Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that
makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately,
but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the
eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old,
and our Father is younger than we."


So... Do it again! Do it again!!! :-)
