Cat Nap September 28, 2014
Sunday, day of rest
A treat to get quiet, nap
Cat acupuncture!
Art Prescription: I’m not much of a napper, can never fall asleep during the day. I do relish laying down though and resting my body. With three cats, someone is always going to join me. Mocha, my tabby, will make biscuits for 30 minutes straight. Got a session of cat acupuncture and then up I went to the studio to play. 8 1/2 x 11 mixed media
Dairy Farm September 27, 2014
A place for ice-cream
Rolling country where cows graze
Big, tall, grain silos.
Art Prescription: Took my blanket, binoculars, and sketchbook out to the country today. Plopped myself on a hill over-looking a dairy farm. Meanwhile people wandered into the store for fresh and local ice-cream cones.

Poetics August 9, 2014
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.

Scars, blemishes, wounds
We all have them, our chapters,
Like trees we grow up
