The colours are the energy of life, and the vowels are the colours from our speech!
The vowels give musicality and energy to any language.
Delight our ears like the trill of birds in the first days of spring after a cold winter.
Transform a simple sentence in an opera aria!
Without vowels the words would be like the thunder storm!
The colours are all around us and influence us almost without realizing it.
The moment we focus on colours, we begin to understand what we are feeling. And by focusing on what we feel, we can get to know each other better.
If we “turn off” the colours, we will “turn off” our feelings.
In a world without colours, we would alienate each other and lose the contact with our own inner being.
Colours and vowels are pure energy!
