About this space

Ever thought of someone moments before they called? Or had a stranger smile at you right when you needed it? These small moments hint at something most of us barely notice - a quiet connection between us that doesn't need words or proximity.

This app is based on a few simple ideas. We all carry emotional weight. Sometimes it's hard to tell anyone. But knowing someone cared enough to think of us makes a real difference, and wishing others well turns out to have a remarkably positive effect on the person doing the wishing. Warming someone else's cloud warms your own.

This concept has a name: Loving Kindness. An ancient Buddhist practice of sharing unconditional warmth - first to yourself, then outward to all living beings. The guidance on the 'Warm a cloud' screen is a micro-practice. The map gives your heart somewhere to focus.

I built this because I wanted my own Loving Kindness practice to have real someones to focus on. That's why I invite you to place your cloud — so I can send warmth to you without ever knowing who you are. Each day I check the map for unwarmed clouds and focus my own Loving Kindness practise upon them.
