I love Clouds

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed---and gazed---but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordsworth

Wouldn't you want to be a cloud too,

if you could see this

(a happy red field of poppies - now isn't that a brilliant sight):or this (sit all day and read a book - sounds good!):
or this (utter cheerfulness):
or this (can't you hear the ocean waves?):

I wanted  a vacation today and so I visited Europe to explore. We'll see if this calms my nerves enough to gear up for tomorrow.
