Clouds

Jack Kerouac

I came to a point where
I needed solitude and
just stop the machine
of thinking and enjoying
what they call living,
I just wanted to lie in
the grass and look at
the clouds.

Jack Kerouac

“Mind is simply a combination of all the thoughts, of all the clouds. Mind has no independent nature of its own. When all the thoughts are gone and the sky is clean and clear, you will see that everything that you have paid so much attention to is nothing but emptiness. Your thoughts were all empty. They contained nothing, they were void. ” – Osho

Tuesday Morning Quote

“When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.”

– Michel de Montaigne

Zen Proverb

The blue mountains are of themselves blue mountains;
The white clouds are of themselves white clouds.

Just A Thought

Snow storms
are numerous
flakes falling
from the
clouds.

Crappy Weather

Photo was taken on the 21st, well before the worst of the storm hit late last night. Constant heavy rain and windy as all hell. Gotta love New England weather.

Colors Of Autumn

Took this photo a couple of days ago. In a few more days, the rest of the green leaves will be turning red, then it will be bare till next spring.

The Way It Is

When I see blue sky with a smattering of clouds, it makes me happy. This my fellow readers, is all I need. Don’t need religion, nor read the bible. Don’t need to be told how to enjoy life. I am just basically one happy man, that likes solitude, peace of mind, and quietness.

The coffee tastes so much better, when I’m in a Zen moment. It makes the day much easier to enjoy, and live life to the fullest.

Just Thinking

There are no two clouds that look the same.

A Zen Sky

Peaceful Zen summer sky.

The atmosphere at its best.

It makes people happy.

Time of photo: 5:48 PM.

Cloud Eating The Sun

The cloud gobbled up the sun.

Bye bye.

May another sun take your place.

If not, it was nice knowing you.

Sunset

Most of the day was

cloudy, dull and humid.

It turned out to be

a nice evening

at 7:50 PM.

The air is awful. Humid and sticky as hell.

Three Things

Time of photo: 7:40 PM.

Evening Sun Partially Hidden

I like it when the sun is partially hidden by the clouds. It makes the sky look beautiful.

Time of photo: 7:34 PM.

Looking

I love the mid-morning of the streaking, wispy clouds.

Time of photo: 9:36 AM.

Today The Heat Really Sucked

The heat and humidity really sucked today. At 4:00 PM, the air was so damn stifling, it like sucked the air right of you. The photo above and below were taken at 6:14 PM. The rain, or what rain fell was a short welcome relief.
