I Ain’t Yellow….Well Maybe a Little.

This week’s travel theme given by Ailsa is: YELLOW.  My dad used to accuse people he disliked of being yellow, cowards. I got the brunt end of that accusation a few times myself. It’s not a color I ever wanted  to be.

Still, not all that is yellow is full of fear. The sun is yellow and no one thinks of fear when they gaze into that orb.  I  guess how you view yellow…any color…any aspect of life for that matter is really up to you. You can let others define it for you or you can choose to make something new of it for yourself. Pablo Picasso said,  Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow  spot into the sun.

Me!

Me!

There is no blue without yellow and without orange.

Of all the possible ways to think about yellow though I like best this thought, I really just want to be warm yellow light that pours over everyone I  love.

I guess in light of all these words I wouldn’t mind being called “yellow” after all.
