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.
