    My Love of Sky and Cloud

  • There is no thought of food or shelter, no thirst, no commerce, war or woe, there is only the sky and my effort to hold and share some fleeting natural marvel that will never grace this world again.

Perhaps it is the nature of these irreplaceable moments, their unique grace, that requires I treasure a cloud's light. Whether beneath us, in the midst, or above, clouds are not only to journey with, but also represent the unrestrained freedom of our natural world, a freedom we often fail to achieve as we scurry about with small ambition far below.
