I have started to read Power by Linda Hogan and in the first and second chapters, I have noticed how Omishto has described the clouds. She talks about the clouds being born for the water. We all know that clouds are made of water but I never really thought of it as them being born for it. This twist in thinking really caught my attention. Then Omishto goes on to contemplate the clouds making a sound as they move so quickly and full of water, but she notices the peace and quite of the morning. This statement facinated me. We all know that clouds don't make a sound, so for someone to wonder why they don't interested me. It's one of those things that you just accept without ever needing an explanation.
The way Omishto notices the littlest things and points out the obvious but never considered facts told me of her love for nature. I sometimes wish that I could go sleep in a boat adne wake up to the peaceful sounds of nature. Just stay out on the lake all morning listening to the birds cherp and possible try to hear the clouds move. But life just gets too complicated to be able to do something like that on a regular basis if ever at all.

I also thought the language of Omishto was extremely descriptive in reference to nature. When she mentions the troubles that are going on at home it is clear that nature is her escape. We may not have the time for it, but I feel that Omishto depends on it.
