Finding “It” January 11, 2015

Makes you feel alive

Your senses on edge, it’s real

Spend a day…a life.

Art Prescription:  What makes you feel alive? When you wake in the morning and put two feet on the ground, what gives you that feeling of “Yes!” Okay…well do that more.

Outside Looking In January 8, 2015

Warm glow from windows

Folks settle, evening time

January chill.

Art Prescription:  As I walk in the dusk and see all the warmly lit homes, it reminds me of how fortunate we all are. I’m so grateful that at the flip of a switch I can get warmer. Simple daily pleasures. Wish all mankind and creatures warmth…

In Spirit January 3, 2015

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…

Right Now January 1, 2015

Bright white moon and stars

Follow a perfect blue sky

New year and new day!

Art Prescription:  Pretty loose resolutions here at the Art Prescription.  Just think we should all be…whatever makes you most happy. That is where your authentic self lives. So go ahead, be that! Happy New Year!!

My Brother December 28, 2014

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

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…
