Little dog, huge will

Fetches sticks twice his own size

Lays at master’s feet!

Art Prescription:  On morning walk ran into Joe and Frodo. Frodo is a Jack Russell Terrier. He came bounding out of the woods with a branch about 6 feet long. A hilarious sight. Joe said, “That’s not a big stick!. Go get a big stick!” Frodo darted into the woods and came out carrying a stick at least twice his size…he thinks he is a big dog!! Lesson:  Go for the big sticks…even if you have to growl a bit along the way!! New ad!

Time marches forward

Like a lion free from cage

And never looks back!

Art Prescription:  Ever wonder what life was like before clocks or calendars? Humans lived a long time by the sun, moon, and stars…sounds peaceful doesn’t it? Now we have a gazillion gadgets that constantly remind us we are racing with time. Facebook has made us a constant observer and publisher of our own lives and a voyeur of others. (disclaimer – I like Facebook) Tomorrow is Thursday and time for me to leave my studio for my nursing job. My goal for this week was to get my new “Mandala Blue” collection out to a table-top company! and I did! A word on persistence by Lebanese poet Hoda al-Namai:

I have not withdrawn into despair,

I did not go mad in gathering honey,

I did not go mad,

I did not go mad,

I did not go mad.

Determination

Rain, stream, creek, river, ocean

Movement towards the whole.

Art Prescription:  What gives people will? Why are some people driven? Or better stated what drives people’s behavior? It’s difficult not to judge others based on our opinion which rises out of our own life learned perspective. For me personally, I do hope I can always consider another person’s point of view, be a good listener, and simply try to show kindness. One drop of water flows endlessly to where is belongs…moves along with the flow of life.
