Clouds are believed to be representation of very powerful
emotions with the ability to create or destroy. To see and contemplate the cloud
is to learn about self just as it is in all the elements of nature. It can be
transition and transformation.
With intermittent rains and the change of sky from grey to
sensuous blue has been a treat to watch. The sky is filled with while fluffy
clouds that tempt you like cotton candy and then suddenly they get filled with
grey clouds chasing the white clouds or different parts of the expanse of the
sky is so different showing that all can coexist despite the great differences.
As I watched the sky with awe, I found two grey clouds
moving with a comfortable space among them. They kept moving in the sky, making
me think of the day to day relationships of life. The movement went on for quite a distance,
till suddenly the space started reducing among the clouds and suddenly the
distance among then became nil. Just then there was a lightening and a
thunderous clap in the sky, make me ponder over it.
I realized how every bond of life is so similar to what I
had witnessed. As long as there is a comfortable space among, it grows and
foster's the bond making it stronger. But as the spaces reduce the friction
starts that destroy it. I remembered Kahlil Gibran's quote, “Let there be
spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance among you.
Love each other but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one
cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and
dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the
strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your
hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can
contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the
pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in
each other's shadow.” I realized how true it is. It was indeed a powerful
presentation of a bond and the emotions that go with it.

Good observation on clouds. but who decides what space is enough in a relationship? And how much space do you give each other .. The new generation wants much more freedom than we did

Yes Asha...a million dollar question. Sometimes when we become close to a person sometimes we tend to take the relationship for granted and then there is a drift.
