Today there were teddy bears in the clouds

January 12: Today I am grateful for clouds. I went to the beach and I lay on my back looking into our vast, endless, southern sky. The sky darkened late in the afternoon, and a few families packed up their kids, and their plastic paraphernalia and left the sand. I saw several teddy bears in the sky today with plump cheeks and playful eyes. And I saw the torso of a voluptuous woman, and a cat, and a poodle with a big pom-pom tail, and a love heart. The sky's story changed every minute, even sooner when the wind came up, unfolding, swirling, revealing something new, or hiding things from view so I had to guess where they went and what they were doing up there..
