Clouds


雲って

太陽の暖かい
日差しをさえぎるし

部屋が暗くなって
気持ちが寒くなる感じがするし

とくに
晴れの日が少ない時期は

あーまた曇っちゃった
なんてがっかりするけど

よくみると
羊になったり
いわしになったり

大好きだった
ピンクの綿あめとか

ちょうど夕暮れ時

暗い重なりの合間から
地上に向かってとおる
いくつもの光

うわーきれいっ
天からの声が聞こえるっ(かもっ)!
って感激する

毎日、晴天だったら
3日ぐらいは幸せだろうけど

コントラストがあるから
感じることができる
深い幸せって

雲のおかげだよね


"I became an official Pacific Northwesterner this week," 
a friend wrote on Facebook.

She heard rain and thought the sounds peaceful and gentle.
She saw clouds and thought the different shades of gray beautiful.

What a fabulous perspective!

I long for sunny days.
I was feeling almost resentful of the clouds that kept coming back
and bringing more rain.

Reminder to self:

 Embrace the present moment.
Open up and see and learn.
Love the contrast.
Look for beauty in everything.

Remember the blessings found in my clouds.

Super... I think you are on the right track. I've been looking...but not commenting. You haven't put anything up for a while. How are things?

Thank you Anonymous, whoever you are!

And Chris--Hi!
Thanks so much for checking in. I've been going through a bit of a transition lately but will be hopping back on track soon. Keep coming back, please! Hope all's well with you.
