The clouds

“I love the clouds… the clouds that pass… up there…
up there… the wonderful clouds!”

Manifesto of The Cloud Appreciation Society

• We believe that clouds are unjustly maligned and that life would be immeasurably
  poorer without them
• We think that clouds are Nature’s poetry, and the most egalitarian of her displays,
  since everyone can have a fantastic view of them
• We pledge to fight ‘blue-sky thinking’ wherever we find it. Life would be dull if we
  had to look up at cloudless monotony day after day
• We seek to remind people that clouds are expressions of the atmosphere’s moods,
  and can be read like those of a person’s countenance
• We believe that clouds are for dreamers and their contemplation benefits the soul.
  Indeed, all who consider the shapes they see within them will save on psychoanalysis bills
• And so, we say to all who’ll listen: Look up, marvel at the ephemeral beauty,
  and always remember to live life with your head in the clouds.
