They seem to enjoy playing games with me whenever I would look at them...
Some of these celestial creatures have faces like men, but bodies like dragons. While others make themselves appear to look like huge lions with crowns on their heads, or as horses running side by side in a race across the expanse of the heavens. Perpetual tricksters. I'm referring to the splendid clouds of summer and how they seem to take obvious delight in teasing me.
This morning, as I stood in the prison's outdoor recreation yard, I could not keep my eyes from gazing upward. There was a brilliant blue sky that was filled with heaps of fluffy white clouds, many of which were the size of huge mountains.
Clever aerial performers that they are, these crafty chameleons love to parade themselves across the sky for all to see. At will, they can transform themselves from monsters into angels, or from animals into people. To me, such cloud formations serve to demonstrate the glory of God. Graceful and gentle, they look so gallant and majestic as they march to the commands of the Almighty. Always skillful at maneuvering through the air, they will dance and skip and vaporize right before my eyes, leaving me to my own imagination.
Today, as I watched this aerial circus from the ground, I saw a fat man wearing a big hat, and a cat, that, within minutes, turned himself into a giraffe. I'm convinced they were laughing at me as each cloud glided along its course. And I enjoyed every moment of their show.
