Where are you headed?
When will you arrive safely?
Top spins across floor.

Out to greet the herd
Feet swish, tall grassy pasteur
Feel of a horse nose.
Art Prescription: After a busy week and I have to mention the loss of a great actor, Robin Williams, I needed more than ever to go out to Blue Skies at Mapleview to be at one with nature. Horses, with their all knowing eyes, greet you where you are. My friend Ginger and I sat under the shade of a tree and talked about life and living and horses. It was a great day. Sketchbook –
Heavy with blossoms
Crepe Myrtle branches bow low
Reddish-purple plumes.
Art Prescription: Interesting how nature bends under extra weight, but does not often break. Sort of ZEN. We too could learn to gently bend when life gets a bit heavy, yielding softly, staying supple and conserving our energies for more good! Wouldn’t this make a great watercolor!
To swim, poetic
Pause to take a deep breath, stroke
Rhythm, flow, water.
Art Prescription: Was thinking today as I was swimming how poetry and swimming are similar. There is a cadence to my stroke, a rhythm as I kick my feet, a pause as I turn my head to breathe. For me this is a moving meditation. Colored pencil and pen and ink 3 x 5 index card.
