There in the soft hay

A mid-day nap in the sun

Hear small puffs of breath.

Art Prescription: Went out to get Finn and he was so peaceful. I sat cross-legged and just watched him breathe.

Pioneer people

Trail blazers, carving a path

Into the future!

Art Prescription: Spent most of my day clearing a new path for horse-back riding! Beautiful day, and I can’t wait to bring Finn over to these beautiful woods.

Against icy sky

A male cardinal sings blues

A promise of spring.

Art Prescription: I may need to go buy a colorful bouquet of flowers…for now happy to sing the blues…

Farm sanctuary

Fresh air, a religion

Horses my teachers.

Art Prescription: I’ve spent much of my holiday time out at the farm. It occurs to me that I’m learning patience, tolerance, and that throwing bales of hay to horses is extremely therapeutic!! Lovely views…

Live by the sunlight

Dream sweet by glow of the moon

Seek the yin and yang.

Art Prescription: One secret to life is balance. How do you achieve the sweet spot of finding joy everyday?

Lean on me today

I will stand tall and strong now

Catch you if you fall.

Art Prescription: This post is for my brother, who reminded me over the holidays that he is here for me. Through thick and thin he is there to lean on.

Thick Fog December 23, 2014

December 23, 2014 / beverlydyer / Leave a comment

A deep thick grey fog

Settles across open field

A flock of geese graze.

Art Prescription: There is something soothing about fog. The way it just lazily lingers…making everything a bit out of focus. To stand in tree pose in yoga I find a soft gaze most beneficial. When I try too hard…my balance gets all out of whack. Perhaps we don’t always need to see so clearly!! A little bit softer now…
