My intentions were to discourse

on the topic of color, this prompted by Mme Umber who challenged me to see through her chromaphilic lens, only days after I had finished lecturing on chromatography, and also learned from Sylvester that the deep blue of blue skies is due to the intensity of light scattering being inversely proportional to wavelength.

I said, "Doodles, let's pow wow!" August was enjoying the cool afternoon breeze,

while Ollie was plotting his escape.

When I saw August get up,

I knew the little ginger had given in to his vermillion kitty soul

and of course I expected some sticking out of tongues...I am used to it!

I tranmitted cool cerulean glances towards August who stopped with the naughtiness

and we finally gathered in umbrial peace, perhaps temporary peace!

and read...

..."He looketh on all things with the eye of oneness, and seeth the brilliant rays of the divine sun shining from the dawning-point of Essence alike on all created things, and the lights of singleness reflected over all creation.

It is clear to thine Eminence that all the variations which the wayfarer in the stages of his journey beholdeth in the realms of being, proceed from his own vision. We shall give an example of this, that its meaning may become fully clear: Consider the visible sun; although it shineth with one radiance upon all things, and at the behest of the King of Manifestation bestoweth light on all creation, yet in each place it becometh manifest and sheddeth its bounty according to the potentialities of that place. For instance, in a mirror it reflecteth its own disk and shape, and this is due to the sensitivity of the mirror; in a crystal it maketh fire to appear, and in other things it showeth only the effect of its shining, but not its full disk. And yet, through that effect, by the command of the Creator, it traineth each thing according to the quality of that thing, as thou observest.

In like manner, colors become visible in every object according to the nature of that object. For instance, in a yellow globe, the rays shine yellow; in a white the rays are white; and in a red, the red rays are manifest. Then these variations are from the object, not from the shining light. And if a place be shut away from the light, as by walls or a roof, it will be entirely bereft of the splendor of the light, nor will the sun shine thereon...." TheSevenValleys

No talk about copper, cobalt, mercuric sulfide, cinnabar, cerulean green fluorescent proteins today! We jumped straight into the abstract! I seem to capture their attention best that way although sometimes this happens too!!!


Following sass and reflections the kitty boys filled their paws with kisses and blew them in air with love! Happy weekend everyone!

Ciao!
