Get Your Head IN the CLOUDS

The clouds drift across the bright blue sky--all except one. Little Cloud trails behind. He is busy changing shapes to become a fluffy sheep, a zooming airplane, and even a clown with a funny hat. Eric Carle

Clouds are so commonplace that their

beauty is often overlooked.
They are for dreamers and their contemplation

 benefits the soul.
Indeed, all who consider the shapes they see

in them will save
on psychoanalysis bills.

 

This is one of the manifestos for The Cloud Appreciation Society. Yes!  There is a society to join in appreciation of clouds. They have 6 guidelines on their website.

If you are a Nephelococcygia, you are a cloud watcher.  Have you ever layed in the grass and just gazed up to the sky and tried to identify shapes floating by?  Maybe you did it, or you've done it with your kids or grand kids. It is a wonderful simple pleasure.  Easy and free.  Easier to do in the park on a blanket or the beach on a towel.  It might look kind of funny in the middle of  busy street...but you might start a trend.... stop, drop and watch!

We pledge to fight ‘blue-sky thinking’ wherever we find it.
Life would be dull if we had to look up at
cloudless monotony day after day.
