Day 5: Complex Simplicity or Simple Complexity?

Simple Squere (sic) by CLo


You know how you feel when there's been too much input and you're still trying to put it all into perspective? Or how about when things are going wonderfully well but you just can't explain why or share your feelings about it with anyone?

Or when there's an idea right there in front of you, and you can see that there's a definite pattern but you can't seem to shape it into anything...


You know how it is when life is chaotic but in a good way... when you seem to be living inside a kaleidascope...

Or how about when you've figured things out perfectly, and you have no doubts about anything even though, when someone asks you to tell them about it, you're suddenlyat a loss for words...

Well, the picture I'm putting up today is kind of the synthesis of all these ideas and others too which I'm sure you can relate it to... CLo created it when she was first experimenting with powerpoint on the computer. I've had it hidden away since two computers ago, always including it in the stuff I put into the next model - even though its really heavy bytewise. I don't often clic it open, but I know it's there, so sometimes, I decide to have a peek. As soon as I see it, I feel like everything is right there in front of me, perfectly explained but in some other language that I have no idea how to speak. So I just stare at it and absorb as much as I can of what it conveys to me with absolute certainty - namely that, regardless of other things that may carry weight in our lives, its things like color and form that drive us on!

Have a look!
