Pareidolia often gets a bad rap, in my opinion. People, especially “grown-ups,” are quick to dismiss seeing shapes in the world around us, but I would argue that it is that tendency towards whimsy – that bit of imagination – which sparks our creativity. And it is that creativity that makes us who we are. Where would humanity be if we couldn’t see things as other than what they are?
So, maybe take a little time today to go outside, look up at the clouds, and see what shapes you find in them.
