“The one on the right, the grey one? That’s a little girl on a scooter. Her ponytail is streaking out behind her.”
“Okay. The big one, just off-center, is a camel lying down with his legs tucked under.”
“Ha! Good one! And just above the camel’s head, off to the left a little, looks like the mouth of a dog or wolf. You can see his nose, a little darker than the rest of him.”
“How long can we keep this up?”
“Forever. Look at all the clouds on the horizon!”
“I love you forever.”
“Love you forever, too.”
Just Writing! 
A pleasant pastime indeed!

I wonder if you’re saying (even if you didn’t consciously intend this) that love too is a projection

Enjoyed the story in dialogue. Forever is a long time, but then there are a lot of clouds on the horizon…Which is itself an interesting play on words!

Kindred spirits, how special they share their imaginations with each other.

Yes, and a bit unusual. Typically, one is a dreamer and the other more practical.

I remember many happy hours spent on the blanket at Unkie floyd’s feet doing this. Maybe that is why I am so easily entertained by the world around me. Every child should experience this kind of fun… far better than phones and computers.

People who take the time to study clouds also, in my opinion, take the time to study how relationships work. Good one, Linda.
