Thin Places: Clouds

“Thin places” are defined as places where the veil between two worlds is thin, where one can experience two different worlds. The term derives from Celtic spirituality, to describe where earth and heaven meet, where time and eternity embrace. The moments between sleeping and waking, and between life and death are sometimes thought of as thin places.

These cloud formations I experienced in my travels gave me the sense of thin places—between water and sky, between earth and atmosphere. In a world that often feels awry clouds give a sense of hope, beckoning us all to stop and marvel at their endlessly changing luminous shapes and colors.
