Clouds

Yesterday I glanced out the window and saw a large white cloud drift across the blue sky. I don’t know why but all the sudden I was thinking about my youth.

I remembered many times in my early, early years just lying on the cool grass, watching the clouds make their way across sky, trying to figure out what they looked like. Boats, trains, pirates, dragons, houses, trees, cars, and all sorts of wild animals could be seen in those puffy white clouds. We would spend hours watching the clouds and trying to show our friends what we saw.

I also remembered how the clouds would changes appearance as they moved. What might be a boat could easily be a giraffe within a minute or less.

Laying on the grass, watching the clouds – it might have been natures version of video games.
