Haiku June 3, 2012 Bee Balm

Red spiky bee balm

Sweet nectar for hummingbirds

Buzz in, hover, drink.

Art Prescription:  I have two patches of bee balm in my garden, and the one nearest the house blooms first. I can look out my kitchen window and see dazzling hummers coming to and fro, their iridescent color reflecting in the sunlight. As in life, you can attract what you need and what makes you hum in various ways. My point of view is that of having something real, something that goes beyond the external (the glossy pages of a magazine), life in the here and now…inner peace comes from the inside out.
