“Your hopes, dreams and aspirations are legitimate. They are trying to take you airborne, above the clouds, above the storms, if you only let them.”
American philosopher William James
I spent a good part of this evening sitting on our patio in Pierre, SD, looking at the clouds, watching their sun-tipped edges drift into and out of my vision. So many shapes, constantly shifting and forming new images, about which I made up little stories, did some daydreaming, and just enjoyed the relaxation of it all.
Doug and I “watch clouds” together, and often have different viewpoints. It is interesting to me how people can look at the same things, yet see them differently, hear the same words but understand them differently, bringing their own experiences, values, beliefs into their perceptions and interpretations of things. How valuable to have others’ insights – being open to varied ideas certainly broadens our world!
I see an angel here… (I see angels all the time!) What do you see, feel, hear in your mind when you look at this image I copied from the internet?
Are you taking time to balance your busy-ness with the many blessings of life? Even the simple things like cloud-watching can be an exercise in the divine! Enjoy!
