My favorite color is gray. Gray is perfectly neutral. It’s not defined. It can go anywhere I want it to. It’s not right, it’s not wrong. It’s not good, it’s not bad. It just is.
Some of us see the world in black and white. Wrong and right. Artists are notorious for this. It’s the reason you have the manic depressive guy who paints the best painting of his life then cuts off his ear the next day.
There’s a certain value to black or white thinking…when it comes to our lives. We need to believe in wrong and right. But when it comes to the things outside of us, we need to develop a gray way of thinking.
It’s scary to live in gray. Gray is always changing. But gray also avoids traditions. Gray makes it easier to embrace new concepts and new ideas.
So find a way to be black and white about the right things. But be gray when it comes to creativity.

I love gray too. Most things (though, admittedly, not all things) look so much richer in monochrome.
However, I find that there are very few things worth thinking about in black-and-white. The closer I look at things, even the things I hold most dear, the more I see shades of gray than #000000 or #FFFFFF.
(And I’m a #666666 guy, myself.)
Haha! 🙂 Ya…I really think that’s the Christian way of living. Seeing ourselves in black and white, and seeing others in gray.
Now, that’s deep. Sounds like a blog post all on it’s own.
By the way, I love what you do on this blog. Thanks so much.
Thanks, Rick! 🙂
