the fluidity of clouds
“I think clouds are beautiful, don’t you? It’s just that their beauty is missed because they’re so omnipresent, so commonplace that people don’t notice them . . .”
~Gavin Pretor-Pinney
when i was young, i used to lie on the grass with my artist mom. we'd stare up at the sky, and marvel at the shapes we could see in the clouds.
creative. beautiful. free. connected to nature and each other. watching the clouds form and float and shift and scatter. imagination at its finest.
the clouds seemed to sense their important role in sustaining life. they knew they mattered.
i crave the fluidity of clouds. moving along, always in the direction of forward. part of a dynamic and vital cycle.
fluid goals and fluid action. guarding against rigidity, with flowing movements in mind. making shifts that are important and necessary and life-altering.
at times trapped under high pressure. but no room on the agenda for stagnation.
changing shape when the situation calls for it. opening up and releasing liquid droplets when it all gets to be too much.
i sometimes envy those puffy white clouds in the sky. constantly finding their way around commonplace.
how do you maintain fluidity in your life? flow where you naturally need to go?
please know that you matter. don't miss your own beauty.
