Geese fly overhead
Wings hiss, separate cold air
Perfect formation!

Haiku December 28, 2012 Be You
Free from worldly wants
You hear your own strong footsteps
Go! You know the way!
Art Prescription: A student of all things Zen, I strive to apply the lessons of many great teachers to my life. I think the hardest lesson of all is to listen to your own heart and not allow the chaotic, negative energy of others divert you from what you know is good and whole and healthy. Peace.
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!
Haiku December 22, 2012 Flock as One
A wave of blackbirds
Move as one mass over trees
Wings vibrate the air!
Art Prescription: Instead of the mall, my love and I walked almost 6 miles in the woods today, which seemed to be brimming with activity…snow coming? As we walked our familiar path a flock of black-birds came up across the trees with an amazing presence. The sound of thousands of birds chirping, and the thunder-like vibration of their one for all flight, shook the woods. I stood in the brown, grassy meadow in complete awe, and wholly grateful for this serene moment.
Haiku December 17, 2012 True Friendship
Friendship! A vessel
To share woes and joys, lifetime
Lift a glass in cheer!
Art Prescription: This is the time of the year to celebrate all we have to be grateful for!! I’m so lucky to have great friends who trade the woes and joys of life. Life is a roller-coaster! We all experience the ups and downs, the long clicks up the hill…and the exhilarating ride, thrilling…the tenacious curves…and the moment when we catch our breath, and go on to the next ride. Life is ever-changing…put on your seat-belt!! and make sure your best friend is along for the ride!

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 19, 2012 Winter Trees
Bare winter branches
Cradle last seasons bird art
Perfect little nests!
Art Prescription: The last of the leaves have fallen leaving winter sculpture. Bare trees reach towards grey sky. The labor of spring love is revealed.
Haiku November 17, 2012 Evening in the Woods
Owl calls out from woods
Eyes acclimate as light fades
Birds announce days end.
Art Prescription: Sam and I went for a late afternoon, almost evening, walk at Mason Farm. Lots of activity as the temperature drops and the sun sets with a dramatic pink sky!! As squirrels scurry to their nests, birds take last call, and the nocturnal world begins to wake.
Haiku November 13, 2012 Blue Birds!
A flicker of blue
Against golden hues of fall
He dips, catches bug!
Art Prescription: Saw a group of blue birds on my walk! They hop from branch to branch, occasionally diving to the ground for a treat. Brilliant jewel color!
