| All
water worlds are twins. They have to be. The same way that the
sky just has to be blue.
However; for the sky to be blue, the sun must be gold. And,
if the Sun where blue, then the sky would be gold;
and the good old sea always matches too.
Turquoise is the shadow of yellow. Like the Earth is the twin
of the moon. The sea and the sky are themselves twins. And;
the ocean needs its moon to keep it moving... grinding out the
tides forever, providing sufficient kinetic energy to keep the
sacred liquid boiling precisely in the right context for life
to be fostered. If it lost its moon, the water-world would freeze
and become an ice-world.
But the colorless nature of air, and the transparent poetry
of water, get their shaded hue from being more than mere shadows
of the Sun's light. For sand can tint the ocean aquamarine;
just as dust and smoke can burn the sky sienna-crimson, magenta-peach,
and African orange.
On the planet Wyveniah, the seas are golden brown, and the skies
are lemon flavored. And, the mother star burns a luminescent
blue, known as 'Rigel', a colour that holds special religious
significance if it reaches a particular shade precisely in between
aquamarine and turquoise. |
