Cloud Hopping

Why I created "Cloud Hopping"

Many of the best moments in life are those of pure enjoyment, whether that's something adventurous like parasailing or something calming like cloud gazing. Accompanied by those we love, these memories give life fullness. I believe in taking these activities, and ourselves, lightly; never too seriously, but always joyfully. In doing so, we can let. ourselves. live.

So how does "Cloud Hopping" emerge from this? In the sky, the rules feel like suggestions. We feel limitless, and inspired. Even gazing up at the clouds sparks a sense of wonder that's difficult to replicate elsewhere.

As we drift through the clouds, hopping from one to the other, the clouds look back at us with curiosity. They think, "what peculiar things humans do." The clouds know thunderstorms, and gale-force winds, and tornados. They have seen the power of Mother Nature, giving them a sense of perspectivke to fully appreciate calm days like this. On these days, they just float.

Perhaps if we take on the same perspective in life, we can appreciate these calm moments without letting what came before it cloud our thoughts.
