In the Clouds

I still hear my mother’s voice telling me to look ahead when I walk and not at the clouds. As a young boy I always had my head in the clouds; I am a dreamer by nature. I used to sit under a weeping willow at a nearby river and cloud-watch as long as I could.

The fascination I have with clouds, especially rainy spring clouds, saved me from getting soaking wet on my way back from school once. That day, I was in the clouds again, but I spotted a moving cloud just two blocks away from me, full of rain. It was following me. I ran as fast as I could. I made it home just in time.

Today I was in the clouds again, but this time instead of rainy clouds I saw cotton-candy-like clouds near a crane.
