As real as it gets
Final sunset of the year
It’s been a good one!

Per Thoreau December 30, 2014
Direction of dreams
Success in common hours
A life imagined.
Art Prescription: 2014 is rolling out…2015 is rolling in. What successes in unexpected common hours do you desire? What endeavors and dreams do you have?
I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of dreams, and endeavors to live the life imagined, she/he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
-Henry David Thoreau

Migration December 29, 2014
A flock of seagulls
Speckle field with bright white wings
A spot to refuel.

My Brother December 28, 2014
Lean on me today
I will stand tall and strong now
Catch you if you fall.
Art Prescription: This post is for my brother, who reminded me over the holidays that he is here for me. Through thick and thin he is there to lean on.

Donkey December 26, 2014
Aw-hee, caw, caw, caw
December sounds from the farm
Donkey, crow, blue-birds!
Art Prescription: I somehow spent my entire day at the farm. Even took a “nap” in the back of my van. So peaceful! Just the sunshine and sounds of the critters.

Christmas is today
And tomorrow, hope and dreams
Half moon smiles at us.
Christmas Eve 2014 December 24, 2014
Christmas Eve shuffle
Bright eyes waiting for Santa
Hard to sleep tonight.
Art Prescription: One of the many good stories…

Thick Fog December 23, 2014
A deep thick grey fog
Settles across open field
A flock of geese graze.
Art Prescription: There is something soothing about fog. The way it just lazily lingers…making everything a bit out of focus. To stand in tree pose in yoga I find a soft gaze most beneficial. When I try too hard…my balance gets all out of whack. Perhaps we don’t always need to see so clearly!! A little bit softer now…

Spirit of Christmas Past December 22, 2014
Christmas tangerines
In a pretty box with nuts
Under grandma’s tree.
Art Prescription: The holidays can be rough. Seems family dynamics are amplified. The world is spinning too fast. And most of us just want it to be over so our lives can get back to normal. Did our grandparents feel this way? I have some pretty super memories of simple gifts of fruit and nuts under my grandmother’s multi-colored light tree. I think we expect way too much out of ourselves!! Go easy…
