A palpable wave

It’s not what you expected

And not yours to hold.

Art Prescription:  Each tree lets go of their leaves in their own time. And so even though the universe says, “there is enough for everyone,” they hold onto each leaf until they are ready.

Tending the Thoughts September 7, 2014

Negative thoughts, weeds

Can wrap, wind around your heart

Suffocating growth.

Art Prescription:  So I did a little gardening today…actually a lot of gardening. Seems I’ve let my weeds get a bit out of control. Natures gentle lesson to remind me to tend my thoughts. Pen and ink, watercolor pencil on watercolor paper.

Long trails of students

File together through campus

Tour of their future.

Art Prescription:  Since my RN job is part of UNC,  I’m around students every day. They are young and eager and have the world in front of them. Today while waiting for my bus home a large group passed by. I couldn’t help but look at them with a sense of envy and relief!! Can you imagine being a freshman again? Can you imagine being a freshman again!!
