Cloudscrolling = Joyscrolling

Sichuan, China - from the Cloud Appreciation Society's
2026 Memory Cloud Atlas
I’ve spent much of today reviewing/approving photos submitted from around the world to the Memory Cloud Atlas. Each entry comes with a view of the sky, but often also a reflection or feeling shared by the person who captured it. So far, I've approved every entry - they've all been clouds, with many people describing being happy, inspired, uplifted, etc. by what they are seeing in the sky.

This photo is from Sichuan, China - I'm not posting it because it’s the best photo I've seen (many are extraordinary), but simply because, randomly, it spoke to me. The person added some words in Chinese, which, happily, I was able to use Google Translate to understand. They wrote, “The sunset is beautiful, but it is near dusk.” So beautiful. I had to read it over several times. 

Scrolling through hundreds of these images feels like the opposite of doomscrolling. I choose to call it "joyscrolling." 🌍☁️

If you’re curious, you can explore the Atlas here: https://www.memorycloudatlas.org/

You don’t need to post a photo—just enjoy the clouds, and the joy.
