The chapter titled “Intricacy” offers an interesting philosophical change of pace from the those which preceded it as the narrator becomes more meditative in the contemplation of the nature of order in the universe and the seemingly robust evidence pointing to an intelligent design. “The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand.” Intricacy The adult who sprang from that unusual child turns the table when looking into the pristine wilderness which would otherwise have remained overlooked and sees the gift left by nature to be found and enrich one’s life in just the smallest way: The purpose was not to enrich someone beyond all their needs, but to make someone’s day simply by virtue of finding riches that otherwise would likely have remained overlooked. The narrator relates a strange compulsion from childhood to occasionally hide a penny on the sidewalk and then draw arrows pointing to its location for some interested stranger to discover and enjoy.
