Life is Story July 17, 2014

Her or His story

Glory moments left unheard

Unless we listen.

Art Prescription:  At work at my nursing job today I was thinking about the patient’s need to tell his or her story. Too bad in the computerized, fast, electronic world of taking care of humans, the time to sit and truly listen to your patient’s story is being lost. Good health care providers realize that this is what “care,” “health-care,” is all about. Standing tall on my soap box!!!

Shimmering Forest July 6, 2014

A back-lit forest
Light and shadow dance on leaves
Air still with July.

Art Prescription: Celebrating Independence Day weekend by hiking at Mason Farm Nature Preserve. Can’t think of anything more freeing than to roam around on open land watching nature and all her beauties.

Haiku December 25, 2012 Peace on Earth

A voice sang from woods

Peace on earth, goodwill to man

Many answered call!!

Art Prescription:  Beautiful Christmas day here in North Carolina. Spent it with my soul-mate walking in the woods, doing a Christmas day bird count, and a bit of sketching…bliss…shear bliss. I highly recommend it. This new year go out and buy yourself a sketchbook. Simply take notice of your surroundings. Especially when you are too busy…just ten minutes of joy and a change in brain chemistry!
