Expressing Peace. Clouds. 33.
Clouds Peace
Clouds. Peace.
There may be something to do more peaceful than watch clouds decorate the sky. I cannot imagine what it is.
Viewing high, white mounds from a grassy hillside. Spotting silver, streaks beyond city skyscrapers. Cheering cotton balls racing across the ocean sky.
Defined thus: “A cloud is a visible mass of condensed droplets or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere.” Yet, by its nature a cloud is peaceful: fluffy, vaporous, lighter than air, silent.
Joni Mitchell had it right:
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way.
Some cloud-associations are not immediately peaceful perhaps. The billowing dark of thunderclouds threatens…to be followed by nurturing rain. Every hurricane has an eye…the center of whirling clouds where everything is perfectly still. A tornado’s destruction denies its sculptural beauty…but the peace that follows relieves assures that life continues.
The cloud itself is a frequently-visible, pleasant symbol of peace.
Nature creates clouds’ role in the cycle of earthly life and enjoys them as elements of its peace.
And how easily the glimpse of a partly-cloudy sky suggests the Perfect Peace, the more-than-worldly abundance that is Love and Joy.
Blissful Spirit,
as clouds mark the sky with beauty and grace,
your gifts of peace mark our lives the same.
As you are the Perfect Peace clouds symbolize,
we enjoy the total calm and comfort
as we know Peace within each of us.
Clouds serve not only to beautify the heavens.
They return to us water’s nurture.
They shade us from the summer sun.
Your Peace as well refuels and refreshes us.
We bless you for the gift of clouds;
we thank you for the Peace that they suggest,
the Peace within each drop of vapor.
And so it is. Amen. Amen.
Enjoy Peace. Express Peace.
