Once upon a time: The Sun and The Cloud

Once upon a time: The Sun and The Cloud

Once upon a time, on a bright sunny day, in the middle of summer. The Cloud notices the Sun in a playful moment. Upon seeing the Sun, the Cloud felt a whimsical feeling, creating an urge to meet up with the Sun and ask him about it. A few hours passed by, and the Cloud was waiting to get near the Sun, and finally ask him about the big happy news. The air was soft and light that day, making the movement of the Clouds extremely slow. After waiting for long enough, the Cloud reaches the Sun. Hey!!!, the Cloud shouted. The Sun looked towards the Cloud and replied, "Hey, what are you up to?" To which the Cloud replies, Not much, for now, "trying to stay next to you. Do you mind helping out a bit?" The warm rays of the Sun usually push the Clouds away, and if they stay too long around him, by nature, they vanish, forming again at a new location. The Sun reminds the Cloud of this very fact before pulling him closer.

"Ohh, don't worry, all of us know the order." Cloud replies with a sigh of relief, placing himself next to the Sun. Cloud glances at the Sun and says, "Say, what is it there today for your mood to be so blissful?" the Sun smiles and, in a calm and soft voice, replies, "Humans." Cloud, with a slight surprise on his face, asks him, "Humans are making you feel blissful." How? he asks, Cloud continues. I get it, but you look different, so that's why, it's just them?" The Sun replies, with a big warm smile, "YES." A smile warm enough to heat airy clouds. Cloud with a giggle, "So do you care to explain? Maybe it can be insightful." With an excitement in his voice, The Sun replies, "Yes." Do you see them? Cloud replies with a nod, listening carefully. So at times they tend to look up at me, which, the majority of the time, leads to blinding. So they came up wth ideas of covering their eyes with their hands or seeing while under some shade. And the last one is the best, they made sunglasses. They work the best among all their ways. Cloud interrupts, but still, they cannot look at you for long. After a pause, Sun replies, "You are right, but that's not relevant." The Sun, bringing Cloud back to the main conversation, points towards his previous talk. Cutting the conversation short, The Sun points towards humans and says, "They are aware."

Another statement is confusing The Cloud. With a puffy face, Cloud burst out and said, "All of us know that." Seeing Cloud's fluffed face and outburst, The Sun burst into laughter, while saying, "Right now, you are making me more blissful." After having a good laugh, The Sun calms himself and looks at The Cloud. The Cloud is waiting for The Sun to complete his point from a while ago, still puffy face, but eager to hear what his friend has to say. It's their ability to sense the fact of need and want. All creatures are aware. The Cloud replies with an agreeing nod. But not all of them are aware of these two. Cloud with a confused expression, what do you mean? All creatures aside, humans have these two in them: The sense of need, the sense of want, but they are not aware of it. Whereas humans are smart, creative, and mostly hunter-gatherers.

Cloud floats in front of the sun to have a better look at him after glancing at him for a while. He says, "I hope you know they used to do that centuries ago." The Sun in an instant replies, yes. I know that. They are not like that in appearance or living, but at the core, it is what made them, them: as you may remember, somewhere in your airy head. They came to the top because of their ability to apply this ability in all aspects of living. So, you are blissful because they are at the top, The Cloud asks, with an eager expression. To which The Sun replies, "No. I am blissful because they are getting aware that they are aware."

The last thing The Cloud could hear was this line. A statement making The Cloud all zittery, sending out sparks of lightning. It was this moment when The Cloud noticed that he had reappeared above a different continent, and it's nighttime around, and The naughty Stars are out playing in the sky. The Cloud looks at the Stars and then below him, land covered in lights and trees. The warm feeling bubbles up, making him feel a sense of relief. Before sleeping in for the day, he murmurs in a low voice, "Sun has some interesting thoughts, I must say. I hope I bump into him again soon." the cloud dozes off in a deep sleep, thinking about The Sun and things he talked about.
