I think of color as being seen in and throughout, not solely on the surface.
What is painting but the act of embracing, by means of art, the surface of the pool?
When we raise our children, we relive our childhood. Forgotten memories, painful and pleasurable, rise to the surface. . . . So each of us thinks, almost daily, of how our own childhood compares with our children's, and of what our children's future will hold.
You'd chosen to be an upright biped on the surface of a small planet of a minor sun on the edge of a minor galaxy of one of the multiple trillions of universes. That's OK. It doesn't matter what form you take.
It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.

Many, many steeples would have to be stacked one on top of another to reach from the bottom to the surface of the sea.
The poetic image is a sudden salience on the surface of the psyche
While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things.
