The sky has a name
The breath of the world, Sila in the air itself, Sedna grieving below the sea, the three thunder-sisters working summer's brief storm.

Sila
the air working something out
Sila has moods, and the grey ceiling of cloud is Sila considering, the breath of the world drawn in and held while it decides. To stand under a low overcast is to stand inside a mind that has not yet spoken, a sky weighing the hunt and the season and the conduct of the people. The elders said that when Sila grows quiet and dim it is listening, and that the wise answer to a listening sky is to be still and listen back. Nothing is owed to you on such a day, and nothing is denied, only postponed. A child who broke a taboo could turn the soft grey to storm, so the people watched their words. Patience under cloud was its own small prayer.
A sample sky — set your city above to draw the deity who holds the real weather over you.
