We wake up and look outside, practising cloud divination
Clouds have so much to do with how the day feels, with what the day seems like. Clouds, more than any other weather that touches your skin – the snow, the cold, the rain, the sun, the wind – talk to your insides. As though somewhere in your chest (or is it your head?) vapour is forming, changing shape, dissipating and forming again. It’s why people need water: to feed their interior cumulus.
A cloud below the clear blue of your head, and above your gloomy heart. Thunder and lightning in your mind, and the rest of you soaked through. Something wispy and white happening in your stomach – delight, nervousness.
