Look closely at the clouds as they toss off the baton to dusk each day.

I sit and look at the clouds often. They have a lot to offer the still and present mind. This is an excerpt from my book, 𝑲𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑨𝒔𝒔 𝑰𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒆, where I write about clouds and dusk.

Do some cloud-gazing and let me know what you see.
