Clouds and the American Enigma.

It was odd seeing clouds that looked like ink blots, and yet clouds and ink blots have something in common – metaphorically speaking, of course. If I were Joni Mitchell, I could probably write a song about clouds and ink blots.

I’ve become fixated on the Stars and Stripes tonight. It doesn’t represent America to me any more, it represents certain Americans. It gives me a lift, and it makes me wonder why the American system is so at odds with the best of American people. I think it was Napoleon who described the British Army as ‘lions led by donkeys.’

I think I’ll take the risk and make the post. Live a little.
