BW15: Occam's Razor by Odin Roark

 





Occam’s Razor as Arbiter

by

Odin Roark

Might the simplest of explanations be the right one?

In the maze of thoughts, where complexity weaves its web,

the sharpness of a simple thread of clarity

 cuts through the tangled mess.


Words, like gentle rustling, unravel the knots of confusion,

 each syllable a beacon, guiding us to understanding.

In the quiet reserve of a hush, truth finds its voice,

unburdened by the weight of unnecessary adornment.


A child’s question, a teacher’s patient reply,

the elegance of a clear answer in a world of noise and haste.

For in the heart of simplicity, lies the power to illuminate,

 to bridge the chasms of doubt and bring light to the darkest corners.

BW14: 52 Books Bingo - Narrative Non Fiction




Happy Sunday!  Our next 52 Books Bingo category is Narrative Nonfiction. Also known as creative or literary nonfiction which are true stories told in literary form rather than dry objective reporting. Narrative nonfiction entertains as well as informs but engages the reader's emotions as well their attention.  Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt was the first nonfiction book I read written in narrative or creative nonfiction format and led me to reading read more nonfiction.  Join me in reading Narrative Nonfiction this month.
