"entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem**"
searching for an answer, what, where, which, when, how
why
look, question, yearn for the truth, the search continues
choices and decisions, facts and figures to be weighed
complexity and detail challenge and defy
logic
when there in front of us
lies the simple truth
it’s really not that hard, not that complex
when faced with a choice
the simplest solution is often the
best
(for justine’s eclectic corner #9 – photography, quotes and poetry – a free verse poem featuring the edge)
** occam’s razor is a problem solving technique, the latin text roughly translates to “no more things should be presumed to exist than are absolutely necessary”

Beautiful and complex poem. What inspired the line arrangements?

Thank you! The line arrangements were the poetic equivalent of shooting from the hip, there was no rational reason, it just felt right?

That’s a very smart post – I needed a Latin dictionary and an introduction into philosophy to pursue it…

here here in agreement with those words 🙂 Simplicity is key me thinks, certainly in my world, try to keep it simple, sometimes they say that truth is staring one in the face and we just don’t see it. Thank you for a very quick entry in to Eclectic Corner as usual you set the bar also with some interesting photography…hehe… muah xx

I have not heard reference to Occam’s Razor in many years. What a perfect poem for it. And such a delicate photo. Great, as usual Andy.
