Cloud Appreciation Society

Just found this website of the Cl0ud Appreciation Society. Here's their manifesto (interesting they have a manefesto).

WE BELIEVE that clouds are unjustly malignedand that life would be immeasurably
poorer without them.

We think that they are Nature’s poetry,
and the most egalitarian of her
displays, since everyone can have a fantastic view of them.

We pledge to fight ‘blue-sky thinking’ wherever we find it. Life would be dull
if we had to look up at
cloudless monotony day after day.

We seek to remind people that clouds are expressions of the atmosphere’s moods,
and can be read like those of a person’s countenance.

Clouds are so commonplace that their beauty is often overlooked. They are for
dreamers and their contemplation benefits the soul. Indeed, all who consider the
shapes they see in them will save on psychoanalysis bills.

And so we say to all who’ll listen:Look up, marvel at the ephemeral beauty,
and live life with your head in the clouds!
