Fall brushes my cheek
Wind whispers through still full trees
Crows caw in distance.
Art Prescription: When you listen, you can hear the call of your dreams!

Haiku September 8, 2013 Alone, but not Lonely
Glad the birds don’t leave
As summer’s heat fades, my friends
With wings stay around!
Art Prescription: If you follow my blog, you know I’m having trouble letting summer go…the sun, the blooms, the abundance of flowers! I will adjust. I also love fall and the rainbow of color that explodes on trees! Does the season change invoke the explorer in you?
Haiku August 31, 2013 Fly
The freedom to fly
Sail above earth and water
Flap your wings, take-off!!
Art Prescription: Do you ever dream you are flying? Soaring above all…
Beautiful Morning August 25,2013
I wish I could put
A morning like this in a
Box, save forever!
Art Prescription: A perfect morning and day…the reason people move to NC. Cool to walk and comfortable to work in garden. I actually did some very productive puttering. I’ve had my years of Bon Appetite magazines in the garage to go through and get my favorite recipes. I know it’s irrational as everything is online, but somehow those actual magazines represent a part of my life. I’m trying to practice letting-go…
Time is a Thief August 23, 2013
Evaporation
Into thin air! Where’s summer?
Time, she is a thief!
Art Prescription: Anyone else feeling like you blinked your eyes and time has moved on? Perhaps this is one of the healing effects of art. You make a mark, there you have left evidence of your precious life! Art moves us…
White Moon August 22, 2013
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!
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 August 3, 2013 Vietnamese Lunch
Artful plate arrives
Basil, limes, jalapenos
Vietnamese lunch!
Art Prescription: We went with good friends today to an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Experiential, really, proving that you don’t have to travel far to find food prepared with deep cultural roots. Each plate they brought to the table was a work of art! Here is my sketch…
Haiku August 1, 2013 Butterflies
Plethora of wings
Swallowtails glide, touch down on
Flora lush from rain.
Art Prescription: Have you noticed all the butterflies? There seems to be more than usual…all the rain? They are so delicate.
