Simplify

Kurt wrote a few days ago:

I dislike mechanistic analogies. We are not computers. But sometimes words seem like so much data, and I grow tired of processing them.

And I thought "how true for me too". And the only consistent sign of agreement is a smiling nod.

Which reminds me of when I saw the bumper sticker available at the shop at Walden Pond:

Simplify, simplify. -Thoreau

and I thought "geez, it would've been simpler if he'd only said it once.", but then I realized I was complicating the issue.
