If you were a cloud, and sailed up there, You'd sail on the water as blue as air. And you'd see me here in the fields and say:" Doesn't the sky look green today?

About This Quote

If you were a cloud, and sailed up there,You'd sail on the water as blue as air.And you'd see me here in the fields and say:"Doesn't the sky look green today?" This poem is particularly beautiful because it captures the experience of being alive at all times. Even when you are not physically present, you are living. You can be living in your head or physically present. However, even though you might not be present in your brain, you are still "living".
