Silence of lips is better and more wonderful than
any edifying conversation.
Strive to acquire humility and submissiveness.
Never insist that anything should be according
to your will, for this gives birth to anger.
Do not judge or humiliate anyone, for this gives birth to anger.
Do not
judge or humiliate anyone, for this exhausts the heart and blinds the mind,
and thereon leads to negligence and makes
the heart unfeeling.

The Sky
Cloud Reading
Most people, even if only as children, have
spent time lying on the grass on a summer's day looking up into the sky and imagining they could see a dragon, a boat, or
a great bird in the clouds. Cloud reading is an extension of this simple, relaxing joy and can be a unique and enjoyable path
to greater understanding. The shapes and details you find important as you meditatively gaze into a bank of clouds will often
be symbolic of your innermost thoughts and feelings. Subconsciously, your mind will seek out certain imagery within the cloud
formations that may reveal veiled thoughts or answers to questions long pondered.
The images we perceive are symbols
and symbols tend to have meaning, even if we are unaware of that meaning. On a day with thick clouds, find a quiet, open place
to lie back and relax. Let the clouds drift across your vision. Don't focus on any one cloud; instead, let the images come
as they may. Perhaps you see a powerful, galloping horse flying in the wind. It could be a symbol of strength and speed, or
a race yet to be finished. A bird can have many meanings, but it most often indicates a desire for achievement. Remember to
be flexible and to use your intuition and imagination when interpreting the images you see. Some practitioners of cloud reading
believe that the color or colors represented in the image also have meaning. Light, or white, clouds are seen as a positive
omen, while darker clouds have more portentous connotations. Pink might be a new beginning, while red could reveal powerful,
overwhelming changes.
Although throughout history images of religious or political significance have been seen in
the clouds, there is no need to expect great revelations. The clouds, and what you see in them, are like celestial art, and
the simple act of watching those changing portraits and landscapes in the sky can be in itself a soul stirring experience.
