Out of the leaves come
Tiny sprouts, ephemerals
Violets galore.
These sweet lovelies are abundant in the woods.

All along the road
Trees are boasting final green
On their way to fall.

Butterfly Delight May 24, 2016
In the cool spring mud
A Mourning Cloak Butterfly
Feeds on minerals.
Art Prescription: For those of you who follow my blog you will remember the gem I found while walking at Mason Farm. It’s a Mourning Cloak Butterfly. They use their probiscus to feed on the minerals found in mud. This is why you often see a bunch of butterflies on a puddle.

Poetics August 9, 2014
To swim, poetic
Pause to take a deep breath, stroke
Rhythm, flow, water.
Art Prescription: Was thinking today as I was swimming how poetry and swimming are similar. There is a cadence to my stroke, a rhythm as I kick my feet, a pause as I turn my head to breathe. For me this is a moving meditation. Colored pencil and pen and ink 3 x 5 index card.
