Welcome to Monday WRites # 340
You've heard about the Monday Blues ❧✿❧well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).
If you have a Monday post at your blog you can share at the linky. There is no prompt. All that's required is that your post is a Monday post
Clouds had always held a fascination for me. It became a natural pastime, looking up. From the window of a bus, window of a taxi, and that early morning; looking down from the aeroplane window. Seems windows always held clouds just for me.
So how then after he abandoned me, those clouds still held their magic? I should have be annoyed with all things so flirtatious. And so it was that “I wandered lonely as a cloud” steeped in longing, questioning my worth.
But no, those clouds drew me in, to a new sense of being. And years later hope opened its window to me, the beginning a new lesson in life. Lesson learned: I was always being loved by a higher thought. Worded by a higher command. That really i was never alone. How i love those giant puffy cumulus in azure sky.

Love the sense of affirmation here. "Seems windows always held clouds just for me.: these words carry a lot of power in them. I like this idea.

I echo Lillian's thoughts - the sense of empowerment is wonderfully strong here, and it speaks with a subtle voice of the divine. Cheers!

As others have said... there's an affirmation here, a "new sense of being" that is of a higher power. Well done.

You are showing a healthy fruit platter with many colours. It is beautiful too. Your writing is so powerful. If there are no beautiful clouds, do we admire the empty sky? I guess clouds make the sky attractive.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

I've always loved clouds too and they are especially lovely in tropical climates, so it is no wonder they mean a lot to you.

Just as the clouds change their nature, so too did the writer's perspective change. Nice mirror of each other.
