Loving Clouds How I love to watch the clouds Peacefully, peacefully drifting by Silently upon the breeze They ease across the clear blue sky. How they build and roll and tumble Just like angels out to play Dancing with the sylphs and fairies Head o'er heels along the way. Each new shape is quite amusing: Puffs to great majestic towers Building for their loving gift To bless the earth with vital showers. - - ** - - by Craig Nicholson

Loving Clouds
How I love to watch the clouds
Peacefully, peacefully drifting by
Silently upon the breeze
They ease across the clear blue sky.

How they build and roll and tumble
Just like angels out to play
Dancing with the sylphs and fairies
Head o'er heels along the way.
Each new shape is quite amusing:
Puffs to great majestic towers
Building for their loving gift
To bless the earth with vital showers.

And the wind, full of wantonness,
wooes like lover
The young aspen-trees till they
tremble all over.

PINK
Brighter pinks are youthful, fun, and exciting, while vibrant pinks have the same high energy as red; they are sensual and passionate without being too aggressive. Toning down the passion of red with the purity of white results in the softer pinks that are associated with romance and the blush of a young woman's cheeks. It's not surprising that when giving or receiving flowers, pink blossoms are a favorite. Pink is the color of happiness and is sometimes seen as lighthearted. For women who are often overworked and overburdened, an attraction to pink may speak of a desire for the more carefree days of childhood.

How the color pink affects us physically

• Bright pinks, like the color red, stimulate energy and can increase the blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, and pulse rate. They also encourage action and confidence.

• Pink has been used in prison holding cells to effectively reduce erratic behavior. (ask.com)

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
