cloud games

crikey I'm a prolific blogger today!

I just wrote this to a client, and I liked it, so I wanted to store it up for myself 'cause I bet I will need the reminder later. She's having some strong feelings coming up, and wondered out loud what she "should think about them":

If you can, don't bother thinking anything about them. It would be just about as pointless as analyzing the shape of the clouds. They are moving and shifting so fast that there's not really any reason to identify or discuss them other than for entertainment. It's unlikely that useful or redeeming conclusions will come from the endeavor.

See if you can invite your attention back to the physical - the ground under your feet, the heat of the sun on your face, the smell of the air, the subtle coolness where it enters your nose. Feeling for those sensations is a good antidote to spinning around in your mind.
