Looking out my window.
I see it's a cloudy day.
A giant Stratus white cloud floats at low altitude engulfing everything in the sky. Blotting out blue.
Yesterday, it was wonderful. The sky was free of clouds. A gorgeous matte blue sky reached out to the horizon as if a minituare 'big bang' had gone off exploding blue in all directions.
Weeks ago, the sun turned pink and filtered through peebly white clouds all bunched up together. When I saw them all I stopped walking. I stood still. Absorbing the serene the natural beauty. Then and there I decided to learn the names of clouds.
Alto-cumulus were the small, white, round clouds. I spotted in the sky.
My new favourite clouds were an uncommon formation.
Why cloud-watch? It's easy to do. It helps clear the mind. It's a way to practice mindfulness.
Spiritual teacher, Deepak Chopra, encourages everyone to connect with nature. In doing so, we align ourselves with the source of universal consciousness running like a river throughout the entire cosmos. When we embrace the sky, the flowers, the trees. We tap into a higher level of intelligence. We transcend human egoistic limitations and unleash limitless potential.
Humans, animals, nature, everything in the universe, is one. How easy it is to forget this.
