I look up at the sky outside the window here at work, and it is so painfully blue, with flat clouds floating past, each one at almost precisely the same height. It gives you the depth of the sky, from here – you get a feel for the staggering amount of space in the atmosphere.
Of course, my Mp3 player (which is what gets me through these long days) is playing Gabriel’s Sky Blue. It’s entirely appropriate, today.

I love that song so very, very much.
Yeah, while Southeastern Michigan isn’t much for geographical relief, we do have some awesome displays of weather. Last Thursday night I stood transfixed in a shopping center parking lot while I watched a cummulo-nimbus cloud tower. The sun had set an hour before, but the sky was still a deep blue. It was so awesome to see the sun shining on the top of that cloud in the darkling sky.
I saw rain when I looked outside.
