    Colours to Delight the Celestial Eye

    I am grateful that I experience synchronicity on a regular basis.  A few days ago I looked at the fall foliage and thought that heaven just has to have color because I cannot imagine joy without color.

    That night while reading Exuberance, The Passion for Life by Kay Redfield Jamison I came across the following quotation by Churchill: 

    "I must say I like bright colours.  I cannot pretend to feel impartial about the colours.  I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.  When I get to heaven I mean to spend a considerable portion of my first million years in painting, and so get to the bottom of the subject.  But then I shall require a still gayer palette than I get here below.  I expect orange and vermillion will be the darkest, dullest colours upon it, and beyond them will be a whole range of wonderful new colours which will delight the celestial eye."

    Yes.
