If I had my way, life would be simple. But that is not reality. Life is complex, nuanced, and ambiguous. Sometimes, it’s downright messy. But that’s okay. Many times, one can find splendor in complexity that is absent in simplicity. Layer upon layer of obscurity and uncertainty can create patterns and textures in our lives that, though undecipherable, are beautiful and even divine.
