'Attention, please! Red, yellow and blue are invited to the canvas.'
For a moment, after this announcement, Golden, Prussian, Ultramarine, Vermillion, Carmine, and Lemon were unable to speak or move. Mr. Wide Brush picked up some water, splashed it, and gave a loud yell. The water drizzled like rain on A's head. Vermillion smiled at Carmine. Ultra kissed Prussian. Lemon and Golden shook hands.
Do we have the lustre of living? both reds asked.
Oh yes, absolutely. Did you know, on an island of Hawai'i, when a rainbow was seen in the sky, indigenous folks announced that a divine presence was near and it was a sign of "heavenly footsteps" coming to light on the earth, said a thin, pleasant voice.
They wondered who between Lemon and Golden spoke.
Hello, I am Golden. A sweet, musical voice was heard.
Canvas was listening to their conversation. He knew, soon, there will be a melee. He was waiting for it.
The dance began. First, came Carmine.
I am known to relax. I bring an element of equilibrium between two opposing dynamic forces!
Canvas remained fluid and did not want to interfere with the way Carmine had come alive.
Golden meets Carmine and their association is nothing short of divine.
Everyone is fascinated by observing their transparencies and feels awakened in their inner lives.
P.S. This was an attempt to understand the quality of colors as stated by Goethe and Steiner. Both of them are monumentally challenging, and it is not a case of simply taking a helicopter perspective to see the whole picture. Far from it. The philosopher in me gets stoked by these indications.
Color is a bridge between our inner soul life and the outer physical world...it is the soul of nature and when we experience color we participate in this soul - R.S.
