Brave: Colorful, Excellent, Splendid

Be brave. Be strong. Don't give up.

Expect God to get here soon. 

(Psalm 31:24 The Message)

Braving this world takes courage. Courage is the typical definition of bravery. But I am not satisfied, so I picked up my dictionary. Brave takes on new meaning. Colorful. Excellent. Splendid. Not what I usually think of when I visualize brave. But I like it.

When I choose bravery, may it be bold and colorful. Stretching me through the spectrum of the prism or spinning me round the color wheel. Dabbing my brush into the palette provided and choosing excellent strokes of magenta and turquoise and cadmium yellow and bright orange and ultramarine blue.

Will I  bravely mix in black or white to get a varied shade on the meaning of life? When I step back from my painting life can I dare declare, "Splendid!" ?

Braving this world makes beauty.
