Black shiny snake glides

Tis the season for reptiles

Shed old habits, change.

Art Prescription:  The incidence of snake appearances is on the rise, just like the temperature. Too bad these wiggly creatures spook most of us. They really don’t mean any harm, especially black snakes. In fact Hermes, the father of alchemy, used two snakes intertwined around a sword as a symbol to represent healing. I spent some lovely time at the UNC Botanical Garden today teaching Montessori students what a nature journal is all about. They were engaged and interested! Little minds learning to enjoy and respect nature!
