5/26/2022 Clouds Gazing...

Yesterday was a beautiful day after the rain ended. There were puffy clouds and the most beautiful blue sky.

I find that cloud watching is a simple pleasure that we can all enjoy.

Life would be so dull if we had only clear blue skies and sunshine every day without a threatening cloud in sight. Earth is a lush, watery, blue-green planet, our life depends on water and we are watery beings. Without water, Earth would be cloudless, there would be no rain, no plants, no sea, no rivers and no life.

Across the world, clouds can induce very different feelings. In Iran, clouds are considered lucky. It is a blessing to say ‘your sky is always filled with clouds.’ Rain dances were common to many cultures in areas of drought and were done to encourage clouds and rain to water the land for the crops.

Gazing up at the sky gives me awe and wonder. I'm humbled at the sheer beauty of our world, the skies above it and the constantly moving and floating shapes that filter the light and shift the colors.

Life Is Good In The Neighborhood!
