White moon, pale blue sky
Trees still, early morning dew
The night-shift heads home.
Art Prescription: Seeing the sun rise and the moon set is a treat!

August Rain August 21, 2013
Ah, cool August rain
Comes in on heals of thunder
Leaves air fresh and cool!
Art Prescription: This morning outdoors was a sauna. I was taking photos of new art, and the heat felt like a wet blanket. After a good rain, the air felt much cooler…went for a nice walk.
Art Prescription August 20, 2013 Flowers Wane
Quiet except crunch
Of early fallen brown leaves
Flowers start to wane.
Art Prescription: I’m noticing now on my walks there are scattered fallen leaves on the path…fall starts her subtle nuance.
Haiku August 11, 2013 Layers
Layers make a whole
Patience wins over hurry
Take your time, indulge.
Art Prescription: I’m as guilty as the next for trying to hurry-up and get to the next task…and in the mean-time, text a friend, look at Facebook, and check e-mail. We are such a culture of multitasking that it’s no wonder Attention Deficit Disorder is rampant. This afternoon I painted in my garden. For several hours I did nothing but take brush to paint to canvas. Sublime! This has some layers to go…
Haiku August 10, 2013 Crepe Myrtle
Crepe Myrtle stretches
Branches heavy with dense blooms
August ornaments!
Art Prescription: Have you ever looked really close at Crepe Myrtle blooms? They are delicate and complex…I should do a 10 x!!
Haiku August 9, 2013 Perseverance
Perseverance pays
You just go ahead and bloom
Cause you were meant to!!!
Art Prescription: I couldn’t pass up the chance to share my side-walk vinca with you. There are so many subtitles for this image…
Haiku August 7, 2013 Healing Bath
Hot Vetiver bath
Nurtures skin, supports courage
Anchors the spirit.
Art Prescription: Another fully lived day painting in my garden. This time I set about to paint Cosmos and painted Cosmos. And a hot herb bath will ready me for my nursing job tomorrow…mind, body, and spirit!
Haiku August 5, 2013 Nature Tactics
Army of songbirds
Descend on intruder hawk
The war of nature.
Art Prescription: While taking a ride on my bike, I noticed a bunch of racket going on in the woods. I stopped and scanned the trees for the action. Then I saw a rooster-sized hawk being bombarded by many songbirds…cardinals, bluejays, woodpeckers…They were all working as a team to make the intruder flee. Finally after much feather pecking, the hawk took off to nearby pines. The persistent songbirds followed. Amazing!
Haiku July 31, 2013 Country Road
Down a country lane
Past cedar fences and fields
Cows graze, roosters crow!
Art Prescription: Take a drive in the country!
Haiku July 29, 2013 Fragile
Life can be fragile
Take care my good friend, find peace
Live each day with love.
Art Prescription: Some very good friends of ours lost their house to a fire last night. My usual attempt at making the Art Prescription a positive place, I hang my head in sorrow for them. Go now and kiss your mate…love on your pet…be thankful for everything you can touch.
