How many of the Animals from the Chinese Zodiac can you find in this parade of Clouds? Maybe you see something totally different. A Mardi Guars parade? Maybe Cupid and friends? There’s so much going on this week! Oh yes perhaps a president or two?
I also offer this poem today especially for those in the East digging out from storm. Many Blessings.
Just Now
In the morning as the storm begins to blow away
the clear sky appears for a moment and it seems to me
that there has been something simpler than I could ever
believe
simpler than I could have begun to find words for
not patient not even waiting no more hidden
than the air itself that became part of me for a while
with every breath and remained with me unnoticed
something that was here unnamed unknown in the days
and the nights not separate from them
not separate from them as they came and were gone
it must have been here neither early nor late then
by what name can I address it now holding out my thanks.

The two things I noticed right away were a horse laying on it’s back (lower center) and the German Shepard to the left watching the horse . . . probably rolling in the dirt. lol If I would look at it longer I’m sure my imagination would get going a little more and I’d see some other things.

Oh what earthy Oklahoma images. No whales or dolphins for you. 😉

Now that you mentioned it, I do see a whale and a dolphin.

I like to see the different levels of clouds. Those high cirrus ones are always fascinating.
