Embrace the Pure Joy of Watching Clouds

“Now, if God made the clouds so beautiful, did He not mean us to gaze upon them and be thankful for them?” — Alfred Rowland

“The sky is the ultimate art gallery just above us.” — Emerson

Namaste!

My brothers and sisters, I welcome you.

May God bless you and your loved ones with joy every day.

In this essay, I am urging you to engage in an act that is so easy to do. Yet, it can bring us such pure joy by itself…!

Here, I am intentionally using the word “pure.”

Because I want to emphasize its inherent bliss — this act is not a means to get us anything else in life — it is, thus, an end in itself.

And that enchanting act is watching the clouds merrily floating by in the sky above.

Doing it is so simple!

All you have to do is just look at the sky and idly watch the spectacle of cloud formation that God puts up there for us.

Do this every day. Trust me, you have time enough.

And, then, I promise, the grace that unfolds will amaze you!

For, the clouds come in such incredible shapes and colours that keep changing so charmingly throughout the day…!

For example, they are the most delicate pink at dawn…they are pristine white by noon…finally, at sundown, they are blood red…such colour change within a single day has to be seen to be believed…!

All in all, it is a sight worth watching.

The best advantage of watching clouds daily is that you will get accustomed to raising your gaze upwards …this one act will bring a massive change in your mental outlook towards life.

Because, then, you will become habitually aware of the infinite vastness of the sky…consequently, all problems of day-to-day life will begin to seem so trivial to you, by comparison…!

Just do it and you will see the result for yourself soon.

Thanks for reading my essay.

May Your Days be Filled with Light,
