Courage

Courage is an under recognized essential strength everyone must manifest. We talk about courage with regard to superheroes and tremendous feats. However, I contend that we need courage every day to face the multitudes of unknowns and to pursue a life of purpose and integrity. This is especially true as we age. Death happens not only frequently but very nearby. 

This painting suggests deepest space and the tiniest amount of energy and determination that can be the seed of courage to face immeasurable doubt and uncertainty.
