Cloud 9

Annie Sullivan once said, ~Love is something like the clouds that were in the sky before the sun came out. You cannot touch the clouds, you know, but you feel the rain and know how glad the flowers are to have it after a hot day. You cannot touch love either; but you feel the sweetness that it purs into everything. Without love you would not be happy or want to play.~ Essentially, there is an oftentimes certain calm you receive when you stare/gaze at clouds that are in the so called wild blue younder. If you think about it, one receives that somewhat same calm with a guy or girl you are either in love or falling in love with as you stare/gaze at him or her even though you're own heart may be beating a mile a minute.

We've all at one time or another in our lives sat/laid down in a very comfortable grassy area and basically watched the clouds roll by. It was and probably still is an activity that kids as well as grown ups of any age enjoy doing due to the fact that you're outside feeling the breeze and soaking up a little bit or alot of sun in the process. For its when we continue to gaze at those particular clouds, one can start to shapes that look like somewhat familiar images one may or may not recognize at first. In a sense, when a person is in love or falling in love he or she can see the all to familiar face of that guy or girl whom you are thinking about. Let me ask you this question, whose one face, guy or girl, do you see when you gaze up into the clouds

Yet, there comes a point where those proverbial dark clouds cover what was once a majestic looking scenery. In a sense, those dark clouds represent heartbreak which can metaphorically cover one's own heart to the point where it is lost in darkness either temporarily or permanently. Its a sad situation indeed when guys and girls can't seem to pull their own hearts from under their own dark cloud of sadness due to the impact that he or she has faced from being in a relationship with someone who basically was rolling steadily away rather than towards you. There is an old saying which goes that ever dark cloud has a silver lining and it can brighten not only a person's day to the point where his or her heart smiles. So, who is considered to be your silver lining?

Without a doubt, each of us as kids have tried to reach up and touch/grab the clouds which in all intensive purposes was an absolute impossibilty. In a way, that's how love is as each of us have tried or are trying to reacher higher and higher for the person you love as one pushes himself or herself, as well as, our hearts too the limit just to feel that high one gets when a person is in love or falling in love. In some aspect, if each of us had the abilities of Superman or Supergirl, we would simply fly up up and away high above the clouds. For the question can be asked, which has both men and women asking themselves, how high are both willing to go for the one he or she loves?

In retrospect, I said in a past Yodaism that love is like flying without wings; but when you are truly in love the sky is the limit. To be perfectly honest, when you are in love or falling in love with someone, you feel strong/invincable like the man/girl of steel to where you feel like you can take on the world. However, that person is also considered to be your kryptonite because he or she makes you feel weak in the knees; BUT he or she makes your heart beat stronger and stronger as you both spend time with each other. Every person wants a guy or girl like this who will not only take you higher than you ever wanted to go in your heart and soul, as well as, far beyond the clouds you see above you, which is a feeling that we all know is like being on Cloud 9.
