Spinning out of control ?

My friend Sylvia posts these wonderful photos on her blog . This particular photo has been sent to her by a friend . This is how she explains the phenomenon of these amazing cloud formations , or lenticular clouds.

"Those are called "lenticular clouds" They're caused when the air flow is just right so when it flows over Mt. Rainier, the air gets pushed upward where it cools and condenses into clouds. Depending on how smooth the flow is, you can get some amazing cloud formations as we've seen so far today. It's usually a sign of rain within 24 hours because typically the moist flow that precedes a storm around here is the perfect set up for these clouds."

My comment necessarily reflects the distrust that most folks have with those who call themselves "leaders" today....

While
the whites ,
blacks,
browns,
greens,
blues, and oranges,
live in peaceful
interaction
feet firmly entrenched
on the ground,
in
a life
concerned
with day to day
earthy concerns,
is it any surprise,
that those
at the
exalted,rarified
top
coldly
ambitiously,
defy
the flow of reason,
spin out of control,
and are often
harbingers
of
stormy
troubles to come ?
