#1 of the seraphim series.

Floated on the top of the Angel Hierarchy, according to St Thomas Aquinas, are the Seraphim. And the Seraphim are the new subject series for my work. They are closest to God, surrounding the throne in Revelation, singing

Holy, Holy, Holy! Heaven and earth are full of your glory, Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.

What instruction does it give me that the angels closest to God, made of the purest light, have only one vocation: praise God? How does this inform my life and my work?

Simply, if I keep the main thing in my mind and my heart and on my tongue; everything is going to be alright. It feels like freedom to me.

And so, I have set forward this path by choosing brighter more seraphic colors, burning colors, but not without comfort. You’ll see!
