Memory Cloud
Tonight, and for the successive two nights, a couple of artists are going to turn text messages into smoke words in Trafalgar Square as part of a project run by the ICA called Memory Cloud. I've been thinking of the words I would choose to describe clouds and they are:
forsakenbecause, as Wordsworth pointed out, clouds are lonely travellers.
friendless
lonesome
rejected
unloved
unwanted
outcast
desolate
forlorn

I think I would say 'adaptable' - because of the way they can change their shape and nature and join and break off from each other.
Yes, Jem...now that starts me off thinking about another set of words. conjoined, bifurcated, spawned...ah, I'd better go and do some work.
Growing up on the Blue Ridge, I'm acquainted with clouds--and there's nothing more lovely than clouds rising between blue mountains while the dawn edges over a ridge. So even if they're lonely, they're ravishing.
Cloud memory: biking in Ireland, sheep leaping out of thick white clouds.
Beautiful, Marly. Just the name Blue Ridge sounds rather lovely to me.
