clouds

How about some idle cloud gazing?

I see a rabbit and hounds and a hippopotamus and snakes and another rabbit and a giraffe baboons and fish and a shark race cars geckos and birds mostly geese and a crane.


I would like a song to go with it. The one by Judy Collins is tired. What else is there?

[cloud song] 5,000 Sing Zach Sobiech's 'Clouds' at Mall of America.


In his memory. This song is well liked because it is a testament to Zach's Christian faith. Zach Sobiech is a teenager diagnosed with cancer that settled in his pelvis and his lungs and who died following a run of treatment until they all failed and nothing more could be done.

The story of Zach and the video here at  Twin Cities.

A bit twee a cynic might say.That makes it perfect for translation. [Yep]

wow. That's very cool.
I was curious about this Zach - here is his original song by him.

When my kids were real little I took pictures, while audio recording, as my mom read a book to my kids. One of us quipped it was a Polish camcorder.

I learned as a teen that clouds disappear when trying to fly to an interesting isolated cloud and it always disappeared before I got there.

The Ultimate Contrarian

Clouds don't hang around,
They hurry scurry away;
Anchor them to the ground,
That'll make 'em stay!

Ricpic, nice.

I took out a paragraph about Wordsworth. And Judy Collins. Wordsworth doesn't understand clouds at all.
