Make it
Choose a cloud visible from a comfortable seat, without looking toward the sun. No photograph or written record is needed.
- 1
Notice the outline of one cloud and choose one shape it loosely reminds you of.
- 2
Watch briefly for an edge to soften, stretch, or separate. There is no need to stare continuously.
- 3
Let the changed cloud become a different shape in your imagination. Both interpretations can be right.
Short on energy? 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 route: Notice changing reflections on a window instead, away from bright glare.
