Goethe's Color Theories/not facts

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Colours#cite_note-Goethe_1995-4

Goethe's Color Wheel
It is hard to present Goethe's "theory", since he refrains from setting up any actual theory; "its intention is to portray rather than explain" (Scientific Studies[5]). For Goethe, "the highest is to understand that all fact is really theory. The blue of the sky reveals to us the basic law of color. Search nothing beyond the phenomena, they themselves are the theory."[6]

quote day and change of background color to crown chakra [(52 day series)(the red/violet hue is difficult for me to achieve in Photography/Computer Graphics?)]

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what   
you do are in harmony." - Mahatma Ghandi                            


and I/WE thought patting our heads and rubbing our bellies was tough. a hint: it is MY/OUR perspective with fear & struggle that makes it appear difficult to US. I/WE each have our dark side that I/WE try to work at to grow out from... a first step in this is taking the personal responsibility to own and embrace our dark side with a clearer understanding of self. self forgiveness and self love. Give my/your self a big hug!
