Right. For me Quality, beauty is there all the time, all around us, in the trees, the earth, the sky, the emptiness of space. It is there waiting for us to rejoin it. At death it is as if we move from one side of our senses to the other, from the highly filtered, highly processed world inside the brain to the true unbounded universe where subjective and objective coalesce. We step out of the dense fog of introverted human perception to the clear air of reality. Where beauty is we will be.
