A Cloud That Refuses to Stay Put
Watch one cloud change and let your interpretation change with it.
Time: 2–4 minutes
Choose a cloud visible from a comfortable seat, without looking toward the sun. No photograph or written record is needed.
Try this idea
- Notice the outline of one cloud and choose one shape it loosely reminds you of.
- Watch briefly for an edge to soften, stretch, or separate. There is no need to stare continuously.
- Let the changed cloud become a different shape in your imagination. Both interpretations can be right.
A smaller version
Look once and imagine how the cloud might change.
A good place to stop
Noticing one change is enough.
Make it work for you
Use a remembered cloud if the sky is uncomfortable to look at or not visible. Keep your eyes at ease.
Another way in
Notice changing reflections on a window instead, away from bright glare.
