Like a cloud

Your problems may weigh heavy, but that doesn’t mean that it’s all going to come crashing to the ground.

Take a lesson from cumulus clouds — the big, white, fluffy kind.

Scientists estimate that a one cubic kilometer cloud weighs about 500,000 kilograms (1.1 million pounds).

We don’t think of clouds as having weight, but they do. A lot of it.

They look like they’re just floating in the sky, but they’re really sitting on top of dry air.

Like the clouds in the sky, with the right support, the right environment, and enough distance, our heaviest of burdens might just become majestic and beautiful.
