Prompt.
“Among the earliest memories of each of us are the images of clouds drifting by overhead, fleecy, fair-weather clouds promising sunny skies—storm clouds bringing portents of rain or snow. The farmer plowing his field reads the weather language of the sky. So does the fisherman at sea, and all others who live openly on the face of the earth. They are the writing of the wind on the sky.”
- Rachel Carson
Practice.
Set a timer for seven minutes and write about the wind and the sky.
