A cloud
is
a large collection
of very tiny droplets
of water or ice crystals.
The droplets
are so small and light
that they can
float
in the air.

“Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on the grass
under
trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water,
or
watching the clouds float across the sky,

somewhere among the clouds

those that I fight I do not hate,

“How sweet the morning air is!
See how that one little cloud
floats like a pink feather
from some gigantic flamingo.
Now the red rim
of the sun
pushes itself over the London cloud-bank.
It shines on a good
many folk, but on none,
I dare bet,
who are on a stranger errand than
you and I.
How small we feel
with our petty ambitions and strivings
in
the presence of the great
elemental forces of Nature!”

“Aren't the clouds
beautiful?
They look like big balls of cotton...
I could just lie here
all day, and watch them drift by...
If you use your imagination,
you can
see lots of things in the cloud formations...
What do you think you
see, Linus?"
"Well, those clouds up there look like the map
"Well, those clouds up there look like the map
of the
British Honduras on the Caribbean...
That cloud up there looks a little
like the profile
of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor...
And that group of clouds over there gives me the impression
of the
stoning of Stephen...
I can see the apostle Paul standing there to one
side..."
"Uh huh...
"Uh huh...
That's very good...
What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?"
"Well, I was going to say
"Well, I was going to say
I saw a ducky and a horsie, but I changed my mind!”

the general mind must be strengthened

like heavy clouds in the sky,
are best relieved
by the letting of a little water."

Mom used to lie down in the grass with
my sister, Gloria;
my cousin, Tandra,
and me
when we were little girls.

Mom encouraged us to look up at the clouds,
and use our imagination
to see things in the cloud formations.
What a JOY to discover bunnies,
turtles, puppies, and castles in the clouds.
Now I look at the clouds in the sky at sunset,
and imagine I see Mom and Dad
on Heaven's balcony...dancing on the clouds.
