Oooh I love this, and these summer skies are wide open 😁 happy gazing 🩷
As Spacious as the Sky
Pause.
Take a slow breath
and look at the sky.
See how the clouds move,
slowly, silently,
across the open sky.
Let your thoughts move with them.
Perhaps the morning is fresh and still,
or the day has opened into blue.
Perhaps clouds are passing slowly,
carrying their shifting shapes across the vastness.
Watch them, simply passing by.
Let them come.
Let them go.
The sky has room for every cloud,
every colour,
every shape.
It does not cling to the clouds,
nor does it resist their passing.
It simply makes space.
You can make space, too.
For a thought that arrives.
For a feeling that arises.
For a memory.
For uncertainty.
For silence.
Nothing needs to be solved right now.
Today is simply for looking at the sky.
Feel the air.
Feel the stillness.
Notice the openness above you,
and allow yourself to settle into its calm.
You are here.
You are breathing.
For this moment,
that is enough.
Look up.
Rest.
Let everything else wait.
