Philosophy

Practically - It was vitally important that both the red and the blue kept each of their integrity. In order to keep the blue "alive" I roughly mixed different blues together. I did the same with the red.

Philosophically - As in transcendental, or transfer, or transmit ... the root Trans means "beyond" and here is something very relevant for me at this moment. This is the blue going "byond" itself ... and becoming red.

In todays world that would be seen as an impossible task ... but the thin veneer of this technological world is becoming thinner and thinner ... and the stories and legends of old are gradually finding a niche in society. Old wives tales are now being taken seriously ... and, in a growing number of cases, are finding themselves creditable.
