Keeping it Real December 9, 2015
Flock of wild turkeys
Gather in field, they do not
Wish they were peacocks.
Art Prescription: So your neighbor has decked the halls and baked (home-made) a holiday cookie batch to sin for. Meanwhile you say the mantra “less is more, less is more.” And actually you are okay with that. You watch as the cardinal steals a sunflower seed from the nuthatch, and you sigh…life is good…life is really good.

Summer Dreamin December 8, 2015
While woods grow gray, cold
Summer lives on in my mind
Roses in full bloom.
Art Prescription: As the fall color is fading my imagination takes me back to summer.

Winter wonderland for all

Rebound December 5, 2015
Silvery cold frost
Gleams on grass, leaves, and branches
Sun revives pansies.
Art Prescription: How did pansies get their name? They are one of the only flowers that will hold up to winter’s chill and keep blooming.

Winter Air December 4, 2015
Winter silhouette
Cold sinks her teeth into air
Horses grow thick coats.
Art Prescription: Finn has such a thick shiny winter coat. Reassurance of how nature takes care of itself. He will be just fine on these cold wintery nights.

Sun Goddess December 3, 2015
She worships the sun
Her artistic touch, sun-set
Cows bow down in awe.
Art Prescription: Doing a little reflecting.
My Prayer for today: Please Mother Earth and Father Sky let me grow old with an open mind and heart. Let me never think television is a basis for reality. Give me the continual gift of always listening to others and never thinking my point of view is always right. Bring fresh air, sun-shine, and long walks in nature into my life daily (oh and birds please). Mostly, please gift me with a positive outlook and help me find joy in the moment!! It’s a swift journey y’all! Let’s enjoy the ride!! xo, bev
Touch Down December 2, 2015
Runway lights appear
Wheels drop, quiet descent down
On the ground safe…HOME!
Art Prescription: For those of you who have been following my blog for a while you know I’m a home-body. After a good visit with my husband’s family in Alabama, nothing makes me happier than to touch down in North Carolina. I’ve been flying all my life, since I was 2, since we lived in Guam and that folks is a long flight! It however always amazes me that we get on these huge man-made machines and put our total trust in other humans to get us safely to our destinations. Thank you workers of the airline industry…Thank you for bringing me HOME!!!
Small Town December 1, 2015
Banks, fast food, churches
Small town life America
Flight three nine o nine.
Art prescription: We can never walk in someone else’s shoes. We have to love people where they are and respect their thoughts. I do know life shapes us dramatically. I also believe with all my heart that if we don’t choose love and joy over anger and sadness, we are doomed a life of dark days. Flight 3909 fly me high!!!!!
