I like to stop and look up at clouds, because it brings me into the present moment and provides a respite from busy-ness. However, I just learned of a very important public health reason to spend time each day looking at clouds. Global rates of myopia (nearsightedness) have been increasing at a worrying rate, according to this well-reported article in WIRED magazine. Two solid bodies of research have converged to show that the cause is not spending enough time outdoors. So, go out and look at clouds and encourage others to do so — especially young people and children. You may be saving their sight and your own.
