The architect Sara Susanka has and awful story in one of her books about a family that hated their brand new home so much because they felt like ants in it that they moved out.<br /><br />My favorite blue ceiling is also in a church. It's in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Notre Dame, IN. Or that was my favorite until I saw the original church they copied it from in Rome, Santa Maria Sopra Minerva.<br /><br />http://40daysof.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/my-stairway-got-hit-with-the-ugly-stick/Nichole@40daysofhttp://www.40daysof.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-33165727900084743172010-05-03T14:24:57.630-04:002010-05-03T14:24:57.630-04:00Ah, choral music sends me soaring every time. As ...Ah, choral music sends me soaring every time. As I had mentioned in a past post, I truly believe music is what stirred the universe into being! There's a quote from Thomas Carlyle that touches on my feelings: "The meaning of song goes deep. Who is there that, in logical words, can express the effect music has on us? A kind of inarticulate, unfathomable speech which leads us to the edge of the infinite, and lets us for moments gaze into that!"<br /><br />As for blue ceilings, I feel the reason we love a blue canopy is inherent in our nature and infuses us with aliveness and well-being along with the color green which does the same(for me anyway).Susan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410955163249085072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-74556347911366114792010-05-03T11:58:15.691-04:002010-05-03T11:58:15.691-04:00If you don't have it, you need "Beyond Ch...If you don't have it, you need "Beyond Chant," by Voices of Ascension.
