I revel in an afternoon of cloud tripping, lucid dreaming and fantastic scheming… chasing frivolity and entertaining dalliance. Consider, we’ve got clouds in our heads and dreams in our skies. Strike that– reverse it! Taking time to indulge in my heart and mind’s playful dance, fight, or tease is not an often afforded luxury; a priceless necessity.
Clouds are an appropriately ideal object of fixation for daydreaming adventures of the inward variety. There is such a concrete shift of inherent dissonance when moving from humid, abstract idea formation to condensation for communication and expression. Cloud formation can be analogous to idea translation into words. To convey the world of creations and realizations from my heart and mind, is perhaps the mission of a madwoman, but a life-long passion, nonetheless.
Dream. For you see, our dreams are made up of real things. If you want to know where your heart is, look to where your mind goes when it wanders. To describe a rainbow to someone who cannot see is my dream. But, not just my rainbow– every rainbow. Play with me. What do you see? Where does your heart take you with your head in the clouds?
Indulge yourself… Full-screen this. Let go. Cloud trip. Dream. Create. Believe.
