Oh there's a society! I'm sure it has a of members.

Thank you, Dianne. Clouds sure are amazing. I recently saw a giant, perfectly shaped rectangle cloud rising up just above the horizon near Mildura. It looked like it was patching up the sky.

Oh I love that image - sacred geometry at play? One of my magical sightings of a cloud was one of a dog jumping around playfully. Shortly after marvelling at this image I got a message from my friend to say that her dog had just passed away - so I relayed to her what I saw. Thanks Alia 💭

This was so lovely and thoughtful, like a poem in audio and prose about something we so often take for granted. Just last week they said on a Fort Erie radio station that the average cloud weighs 500,000 kilograms or 1.1 million pounds. I think that living remotely as you do has sharpened your innate powers of observation and appreciation to a very high degree. Would that we all might respect and give thanks for the three forms that water can take on all around us, often all simultaneously. Water IS life, after a fashion, and I thank you for another delicious Mind Flex!

Thank you, Rafael. That's a great fact about the weight of clouds. How amazing. I'd never thought of it like that, but I've always been acutely aware on long distance hikes that every litre of water I carry is roughly an extra is 1kg of weight, so it makes perfect sense. Water is heavy. And clouds are HUGE!
