Haiku July 13, 2013 Pieces of Life

Life is a puzzle

At times all the pieces fit

At times parts are lost.

Art Prescription:  So what do you do on those days where things just don’t seem to fit together? What can you do to shift your mood to something better? Exercise, art, music, cook, pets…name your remedy! Please share!

Haiku July 12, 2013 Rejuvination

Rejuvination

A spring of positive strength

Renew, refresh, grow!!

Art Prescription:  I’ve had two very busy days at my nursing job. Life presents us many ways to grow and learn. Art is a perfect conduit for catharsis, a way to channel emotions, and come out on the other side with a sense of renewal.

Haiku July, 11, 2013 Steady Drizzle

Set out for a walk

Clouds gathered, distant rumble

Rain drops fall, I’m wet!!

Art Prescription:  This time of year a walk in a steady drizzle can actually be refreshing. Then my neighbor’s dog took off running wild through the woods, freaked by the thunder. I went off after him, poison ivy and all! Like a deer he shot through the bramble. Luckily he and his owner are both safely home, not sure who is more shaken. For me, a warm shower and a glass of wine should do.

Haiku July 4, 2013 Red, White, and Blue

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!!

July 3, 2013 Satisfaction

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
