Cool rain clears the air
Like sleep clears the brain, bathing
Cool droplets of hope.
Art Prescription: Rain rinses away dust and dirt. Sleep helps unfurl indecision. Never make a decision until you have slept on it. This is a good “old wives tell.” Get some rest…and then move forward!
Bold purple vinca
Sturdy red green stems reach up
Towards morning sunrise.
Art Prescription: Ever notice how plants and trees are always reaching towards the sun? They grow despite wind and rain, and right on time they know their season has come. Seems simple doesn’t it?
Red, green, yellow, red
Traffic light keeps perfect time
Stop, go, pause, be, breathe.
Art Prescription: How often do you sigh? That is the body taking a natural deep breath. Current and historical practitioners relate the breath to wellness. Next time you are at a red-light, instead of feeling impatient, take a long-deep-belly-breath and be well my friend.
Birds sing with their soul
They know this is not a dress
Rehearsal, it’s real.
Art Prescription: It’s your season for doing….are you doing?
February cold
Makes cuddling with lovers, warm
Unforgettable.
Art Prescription: Use the final blast of winter to cuddle with the ones you love.
Cold thunderous wind
Whips corners, bends trees, cuts sharp
Winter’s not over.
Art Prescription: Accept winds of change. Just when you thought spring was taking over a cold front moved in. Reach for your coat, hat, and mittens with a grin.
Pregnant buds on trees
Flowers will light the forest
Intoxicate bees.
Art Prescription: It really is more about the process than the outcome. We need to be willing to take a chance and have the process be the change. Movement forward..
Metamorphosis
New wings fresh from the cocoon
Graceful path fly free.
Art Prescription: Metaphors are often useful when decisions need to be made. Re-framing with nature often cures human restlessness.
Blustery cool wind
Changes direction in a
Heart beat to be whole.
Art Prescription: “All we are is dust in the wind.” Words and music by Kerry Livgren . Performed by Kansas circa, well-whatever. Sheet music costs me $1.50. Says play “moderate Folk style.” Really… What speaks to you the melody or the lyrics?
Cobalt blue with wings
Perches a top dark branches
Pair by pair they sing.
Art Prescription: Blue birds have a distinctive sound. I love hearing them and then searching the tree tops to find a male calling out for his mate. Listen and look…watch.
