Haiku February 18, 2013 Travel
Where ever you go
There you most certainly are
Key is to fit in.
Art Prescription: I guess the theme this week is uniqueness. A key to life, however, seems to be to be able to fit in where you are. To blend, be a good listener, and hope people around you feel heard, acknowledged, and at ease.
Haiku February 17, 2013 Introvert
Alone, not lonely
Quiet time spent with my own
Imagination.
Art Prescription: There are those of us who love a party, lots of people, loud music, a hoping good time. And there are those of us who love quiet walks in the woods, lots of birds, sounds of nature, and creative solitude. No judgement here. Just be who you are and hope the world will honor that!
Haiku February 16, 2013 Snowflakes
Big, fluffy snowflakes
Drift down like a heavy rain
Each design unique!
Art Prescription: The natural world reminds me often that we are all unique! There is not another person or thing like us, which is what makes our individuality extra special!!
Haiku February 15, 2013 Essence
Capture pure essence
With a simple line, gesture
Sketch a piece of life.
Art Prescription: I love drawing quick pen and ink sketches of my cats! Keep a sketchbook handy and try capturing some moments of your day…a piece of fruit, a pet, birds at feeder, just keep your hand moving across the page! You can capture a lot with a few lines!
Haiku February 14, 2013 Valentines
Sit in pure stillness
Disconnect from busy world
Notice something new.
Art Prescription: On my bus rides to and from my RN job just about every person has their nose to their smart-phones. No one is looking out the window to see the lovely flock of robins, or the way the light reflects off the buildings, or the simple beauty of a sunset. No wonder depression is on the rise! I feel like a Florence Nightingale of the 2000’s. I think everyone needs fresh air, exercise, and nature… Give yourself a Valentine…
Haiku February 13, 2013 Resolutions
Each day a new chance
Full of possibilities
Go! Embrace your goals!
Art Prescription: Perhaps spring is a better time to make resolutions. The days are getting longer, and the promise of new growth is inspiring! Hug your Valentine!
Haiku February 12, 2013 Woodcocks
Flight of the Woodcock
Soars, musical twitter, dives
Female impressed, coos.
Art Prescription: Spring…mating season. The male American Woodcock has one of the most musical aeronautical displays. They begin their dance at dusk which makes them hard to see, but if you stand still and listen you will hear the male as he soars upward in a wide spiral. As he descends his wings start to twitter, and he comes down in a zig-zag pattern, chirping as he dips. He lands near a female and starts the whole dance again…wow persistence!
Haiku February 11, 2013 Togetherness
When I think of we
Together. Life full of love
My voice sings aloud!
Art Prescription: Valentine week! Yea, I know it’s somewhat commercial. And it’s also a chance to remind those we love that they are indeed loved (Sam Dyer)!! I’ve been in the studio painting roses!
