Your thoughts are like clouds in the sky
Coming, going, passing by
Do not mistake one thought for the whole sky
For the sky is much bigger than any one cloud
The sky is bigger than all the clouds
The sky is vast, deep and many colored
Yet it clings to nothing
It holds the sun, moon, rain and rainbows
Sometimes it is calm, sometimes it is stormy
Beyond what you see, the stars are always shining
The sound of the rain needs no translation
You can observe the clouds while keeping your feet on the ground, without being pulled by them, without your vision being clouded
We are only responsible for our own feelings
Our spirit receives a breath a life, we exhale back into spirit
Life and death are one big moon bounce
