Sometimes I really prefer simple things. In summer in Indiana, there is nothing like a sliced fresh ripe tomato on a good bread toasted with a nice smear of butter (although some prefer mayonnaise). A fresh ear of corn just warm from the cooking is a close second. My wife likes hers with butter and salt, but I’m happy with just the corn for the first two ears. Maybe you want watermelon fresh from the field or maybe cooled down in the creek. There are recipes that are more complicated and fancier, but to my mind are no better than these simple flavors.
In music, I often feel the same. While I can enjoy a full orchestral accompaniment, I really like the simple, unaccompanied voices or the lone voice of a cello filling the listening space. The cluttered opulence of a Victorian room can have great appeal, but so can the clean sparce lines of a Japanese-style room. Simplicity can be its own strength.
I have often counseled brides and grooms against including everything they have seen in weddings plus one new and original idea. Simple has its own elegance. Clean lines and clear vistas often are superior to cluttered sight lines and obscured views.
Much of the gospel of Jesus Christ is at its heart quite simple. Certainly, there are deep and complicated ideas that can challenge the finest minds, but grace, forgiveness, trust, and love are understandable to the simple childlike mind. “Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest,” is straight-forward and simple enough for anyone who will listen.
