Contemplation of the Complex



I recently read a quote that said…and I paraphrase…”Only God can create a flower”. The thought occurred to me that if God alone creates a flower, imagine how much thought He placed in us. If it is recommended that we stop to smell the flowers as often as possible, then imagine how much interaction He expects from us with each other.

Look about and notice all the wonders of the world whether it be literature, education, architecture, science, math, and art and think of the wonderful creative mind given to us to enable these endeavors. None of these things are ever done alone. We had to be taught as children to think and develop our talents. All these creations took a collective of people to come together in one mind and cause to finish any singular accomplishment.

We as a people are elaborate and multifaceted. It takes all of us to create our world for we do not exist in it in secluded little pockets. We blend. We expand, explore and develop. The more adventurous of us may travel while the others may keep the home fires burning. As the adventurers travel and return home, their stories expand the minds of those who hear them. Communities and cultures intermingle. Ideas are shared and interspersed in all the peoples.





For if only God can create a flower, did He not create the seeds to be spread? Do not the seeds of humanity spread and flourish in a similar fashion when nurtured? Indeed they do.
