Rivers of rain run
A drop travels to the sea
Long fruitful journey.
Art Prescription: And really isn’t that what we all want? A long fruitful journey…a journey filled with grace.

Holiday Blues December 29, 2015
Post-holiday blues
The hubbub grows more quiet
Time for reflection.
Art Prescription: For most people this week after the mad dash of the holiday season is a time of regaining a sense of normal.
Thoreau (who went off alone into the woods by the way) says, “The life in us is like the water in a river. It rises, even floods, but then it recedes until it finds its true level.”
As life falls back into its regular pace we move into a new year of hopes, dreams, and intentions!

Dry Hay December 28, 2015
A simple pleasure
A flake of dry hay in rain
Warm, furry, sweet horse.
Art Prescription: This creature brings me much joy!
Taking Inventory December 27, 2015
City slicker bird
Big blue heron surveys skies
Contemplates his roost.
Art Prescription: This is the time of year we take inventory, survey our roost, run all that mental film through the mind’s projector. And hopefully we see flashes of joy amidst moments of pain and sorrow. Hopefully we see laughter where there was doubt or confusion. And most of all as we survey our skies, we know we are deeply loved.

December Daisy December 26, 2015
Pot of fresh color
Lasting long past its season
December daisy.
Art Prescription: As odd as this warm December is, it’s nice to see flowers hanging around.

Christmas Moon December 25, 2015
Remains of the day
Remains of the year, lit by
Christmas day full moon.
Art Prescription: Do you feel a bit melancholy this time of year? Such a big crescendo of holiday happenings and another year coming to close. Walking under the bright light of the Christmas day full moon, I gaze up into that big wide sky and wonder many things. Each star shows me how little I am. And reminds me of the importance of each of our special lights.

Joy to the World December 24, 2015
Merry Christmas Eve
Moon shines behind thick warm clouds
Joy to you and me!
Art Prescription: Peace be with you my fellow bloggers. Love, Bev
Gonna Snow? December 23, 2015
Thunder in winter
Ten days later it will snow
Barefoot December.
Into the Woods
A lone ornament
Anonymously adorns
Path into the woods.
Bee-Line December 21, 2015
A straight direct course
Would be so much easier
Than all these circles.
Art Prescription: And round and round we must go…picking up juicy tidbits on our journey. A course, straight to the honey, would lack in adventure. It would pale to the wandering and coming up lost now and again. It would probably be uneventful, without any family rows, work blow-ups, marriage quarrels… things would just naturally fall into place! How boring!!
As the year comes to an end, let’s give thanks to our circles. May our many curves be blessed and honored, and fasten your seat belt for the new year!
