Haiku June 8, 2012 Balance

Vines grow up, over

Tendrils spiral, wrap around.

New green shoots flourish.

Art Prescription:  I love wandering vines. Most vine-like plants are dependent on another structure in order to grow towards the sun. If planted with intention…grape-vine, clematis- vine, honeysuckle-vine… and there is adequate support to grow and prosper, things work out pretty good. If, however, vines are invasive (kudzu), or poorly planned, then the vine and the support suffer. Invasive plants can smother whole living trees.  So just as in life when planting something new, a little planning goes along way. Everything needs balance!
