When you're below it, it's a cloud.

When you're going through it, it's fog. When you're above it, it's…something. I remember reading it at the information center at Mount Washington, but now I don't remember what it's called. But when you're flying above the clouds, not even 10 feet from the tips of the clouds, do you ever feel like you just want to leap out of the plane and see how it feels? I know they're just clumps of water droplets and I'd just fall right through, but it's so tempting to want to take a chance just to know how it feels like. To not care whether they would catch you or let you fall, not care about the consequence, the afterwards, the future, just for that moment of knowing what you've been wondering but were too afraid to take the chance to find out. That's the essential principle of living in the moment, isn't it? And that's why it's so hard to do.

i ALWAYS want to roll around in the clouds!!! michael had these fluffy white covers and whenever he hung out and he went to the bathroom or showered or played video games i would roll around in them and pretend i was in the clouds. he covered them with sheets tho and now they are not fluffy and it made me reaally sad when he did that
