Quatern

Make the complex simple

awesomely simple;

that’s creativity!

translucent diadems.

Charles Mingus

Thoughts too weak:

make the complex simple;

empty them, start again:

they’re beyond cognition.

Luc de Claplers

Try for plainness

selflessness:

make the complex simple

polished core revealed.

Lao-Tsu

Birdsong, sky and weather:

luminous and spare;

look through them to see the world;

make the complex simple!

Stanley Kunitz

Red is the first color of the rainbow Red is God

Instead, rejoices!
