Cloudy with a chance of joy

Clouds, often seen as symbols of gloom, are celebrated for their beauty and as nature's poetry, urging us to find joy above.

Gavin Pretor-Pinney invites us to embrace cloud spotting as meditation, a chance to slow down and savor nature's ephemera.

Cloud spotting, a seemingly aimless activity, is championed as vital for creativity, mindfulness, and reconnecting with nature.
