Haiku November 23, 2012 All for One

A flock of wild geese

Turn direction at same time

One for all, all one!

Art Prescription:  Researchers have long been fascinated by the flocking behavior of birds and fish. How in one sudden flash they all turn and move in unison. One theory is that of “collective thinking.” Or that there is some electromagnetic principal going on. Either way it’s a beautiful sight. Sit back and watch birds flying south for the winter. They turn and land in the trees as a group, creating interesting sound effects in the forest. What if all of mankind were to work together like this?

Haiku November 20, 2012 Solitude

Alone, not lonely

Shear peacefulness, quiet bliss

Hear your own footsteps!

Art Prescription:  Do you enjoy being alone? I do. Even more so when the world is whirling away at the speed of light. I love it so quiet that the only thing I hear are the squirrels chattering, the birds chirping, and the crunch of leaves under each step! and the swish of my paint brush!
