How are you, Mr. Sky?

Hello, Mr. Sky. How are you today?

I am so happy in the sunshine! It warms my air and I feel like singing with the birds and dancing amidst the daffodils!

Hello, Mr. Sky. How are you today?

I’m so gloomy. The fog is so thick. I can’t see the mountains below, and above no stars appear. So sad and stuck and lost, I feel.

Hello, Mr. Sky, how are you today?

The atmosphere feels so clean tonight and I can see eons of promise! A billion planets radiate beyond and god and heavens revolve about my cap. So mighty this night has become, how holy!

Hello, Mr. Sky. How are you today?

The storms are shaking me. I am wet and windy. My existence is battered and tossed. So ugly I am. Hopeless and desperate for land.

Hello, Mr. Sky. How are you today?

Leave me alone! I’m hot. It’s summer, you know? My knees are sweaty and I’m dry and thirsty. Blast this furnace. Will it ever end! 

Hello, Mr. Sky. How are you today?

I’m so cold, frigid and frozen. My toes are covered in frost and snow keeps whistling in my ear. So lonely and forsaken. Were is the fire and where is Miss Spring?

Oh, Mr. Sky. So funny you are. So silly! You forget too easily who you are. You are the sky! Let a thousand storms come. And slide down the rainbows! Let the fogs blind you. And gaze at the stars! The summer will warm you, the winter brings cold. All of it comes, neither good nor bad! Yet you remain, Mr. Sky, unblemished, undivided, even un-blued. For don’t you see? You are nothingness yet contain everything. That’s how you are.

I suppose you are right! How perfect I am! It’s a day for a picnic… but wait. On the horizon there, I think there’s a cloud!

Oh, Mr. Sky…
