I still remember the experience I had when my grand dad took me and my cousin sister to the terrace during a night and we lay down there for an hour, it was very early stages of my life, i was about about 2 or 3 years old, but the incident is very clear in my mind, cause I enjoyed that expedience a lot. Since then when I get opportunity I go out and look at clean dark sky during night, the twinkling stars, bright moon, shooting stars moving from one place and getting vanished while moving or a blue clean sky with sun shining bright during the day, it is a kind of calming experience for me looking far away from the earth and I was not able to pick what really was giving me the sooting experience . I was actually enjoying the infinite vastness.
Now when I see clean skies I can equate it with blitz, clouds comes and interfere the vastness just like our thoughts hiding the infinite vastness of the self, we all look at the thoughts and emotions and get carried away by it just like we look at cloudy sky which hides the infinite vastness.
Our experiences are like skies, overcast skies can be equated to a mind full of thoughts with not even a slit in it to be able to see the infinite existence and in between stages, when clouds are thinner and lesser It is more peaceful states of mind skies with lite cotton clouds which are much higher state of mind and a clear sky, I am in a path now to make the clouds lighter and lighter because I love watching clear skies 
our true nature is infinite and peaceful.
Love and peace
