Have you ever wondered what the sky is? A grand canopy that shelters us from the unknown, or a spiritual plain gifted to us by The Deity? The sky is a wondrous celestial sphere that instills feelings of hope and courage. 

The first thought to strike us when we think of the sky is its color. Its shade is a gorgeous blend of the Arctic and Cerulean blue. It tints the oceans with its flare, giving them an infusion of warm cobalt blue.

Skies are also associated with a wide range of sentiments. On brighter sunny days, they radiate warmth, hope, passion, and courage.

On rainy days, it turns to a gloomy monotone grey. And some days, it sends down thunder that reminds us of its wrath – even something as soft as the sky has an aggressive side to it!

What do you think of when you think about the sky? Read these quotes, and they’ll make you soar!
