Seemingly, as a child, I viewed my father as all-knowing, as so many children do. When I had the chance to be with him alone, we talked of nature and its beauty, specifically about clouds. Unknowingly to me at the time, he had been a navigator in WWII and flew fifty missions helping to drop bombs on war factories in Europe. Instead of discussing that with me, he chose to teach me the various types of clouds he had seen, transposing horror to beauty.
