Red, white, and blue day
Parades, flags, dogs with ribbons
Now fire up the grill!
Art Prescription: On this Independence Day I’m making a delicious dish from India! Home-made garam-masala! Grilled eggplant…etc. We live a rich life with an abundance of everything at our finger-tips. I am thankful!!
Between the thunder
Sweet satisfaction of sun
Round raindrops glisten.
Art Prescription: Here in NC we’ve had a deluge of storms. Seems for days thunder has been rumbling. So when the sun came out today, I rushed off to the pool to get some laps in!! Satisfaction comes in many forms, and I’m super excited to announce the launch of my new checks, checkbooks, and address labels!! http://new.checkadvantage.com/beverly-dyer-bio
In the summer marsh
The centipede plays rhythm
Frogs sing harmony!
Art Prescription: With all the rain we have had, most creeks and wetlands are abundant with creatures. The sounds of nature amuse me! There is a story in each moment.
She pecks at mosses
Beak full she pauses, waits for
His wings to say fly!
Art Prescription: Watching a pair of purple finches in my backyard…delightful. Clearly team work as she gathers materials for a nest, he stands watch to see that the coast is clear. A slight jiggle of wings is cue for them to fly off together for their destination.
Serendipity
Two paths cross, coincidence?
It all falls in place.
Art Prescription: Many times decisions are suddenly made, based on a surprising event or meeting. There are subtle clues to guide you. Other times it’s a storm, deluge really, and in an instant you just KNOW!
Feel content at home
Life’s ambitions surround me
Art, books, and journals.
Art Prescription: Your home tells a story about you. When you look around you should feel cozy and welcome and comforted by the things you have collected. A garden in bloom is a chapter of dirty hands and blissful spirit!
Hail and farewell time
People move on, new ones come
Life is constant change.
Job, calling, career?
Does your heart leap at new day?
Is your ego stroked?
Art Prescription: At my nursing job we are hosting an undergraduate student program. Eagerly these young folks follow the surgeon I work for and try to absorb enough information to guide their next move in life. It’s so important to choose something that feeds your spirit and gives your ego a boost. And to choose a vocation from your heart versus what people want you to be!!
Like a teddy bear
Cat creeps up between my arms
Whiskers tickle face.
Art Prescription: Soft velvet ears and a love to be petted defines my cats. There is always someone to cuddle with. A simple pleasure is to lie down for a mid-day rest and have a furry being join you. Mind-you there is no sleep involved, because petting and/or marching on pillows is in high order. Just the same it’s wonderful!!
Backyard pen and ink
Hummingbirds fly by as I
Capture a moment.
Art Prescription: I love sketching in my garden!! Simply, sit, watch, sketch with pen and ink. Sometimes when you just sit still nature will come to you. I always wish, oh! need my camera…and then remind myself to just be in the moment.
