Perception

Perception.  Needs. Wants. Desires. Passions. Love. Outside the wind was blowing hard, the clouds rolled in and I could see their deep colors. They called me outside. I stood on the deck and let my eyes relax. Undulating black, blue, pink, gray, and white were in front of me. I reached for them, they were so close. As I watched each cloud changed and spiraled. Each change it made was lovely. The color changed slightly every time. One cloud looked like it was a stairway ascending up. Others looked like wings. As I stood outside gazing at the clouds and letting my hair whip about, I felt a sense of familiarity, smallness, bigness, everything in the universe. I thought about how much we change over a lifetime. Slightly sometimes and other times we completely shift. Marvelous. If I could watch myself as a cloud, what would I see? I feel like I have been too hard on myself. I need to see the subtle changes better. Sometimes we can see the complete shifts in ourselves. I need better perception of these changes. I want to be better in tune with my self, my family, our earth, and each other. Trust your gut and let the clouds call to you.
