Haiku July 9, 2013 Loneliness

Loneliness is not

Being only flower bud

But failure to bloom.

Art Prescription:  The garden is ripe with buds and blooms and it occurs to me that to make a garden whole it takes many elements. The rain, the sun, the soil, birds, bees, and the instinctual element of life growing on despite any adversary. A tree fallen by a storm, will only grow upward with new branches. We humans get so attached to this one short life we live. If you relish in nature’s messages, you will be at peace with the whole. Four winds, Bev

Eternal Summer

Haiku March 20, 2013 Huntress Owl

A night-time huntress.

A riot of wildflowers.

The owl glides silent.

Art Prescription:  The magical unexpected sighting of an owl on my morning walk stayed with me all day. Usually nocturnal, this time of year owls are doing a bit of extra hunting for their brood. Owls have long been thought of as a symbol for wisdom. The Native American practice of Animal Medicine says Owl may be asking you to go deep within and know your own truths.
