Hearts a bursting September 15, 2013

Pink sneakers, white hat

Walk my path as sun settles

My Hearts-a-bustin.

Art Prescription:  Euonymus americanus – Bursting Heart, Hearts-a-bustin’, Strawberry Bush.. E. americanus is a shrub with thin stems and opposing, shallowly serrated leaves. The bush grows from 4 to 6 feet tall. Fruit is a red 4-lobed capsule. Each lobe splits open in the autumn, giving the name Bursting Heart.

There are many days that we may feel our hearts are bursting, with joy, with praise, and with sorrow.

Hope is the thing with

Feathers. Did Emily know

How we would need this?

Art Prescription:  I’m working through my grief and helplessness over the recent tragedies. Though I try to be positive here on the Art Prescription, I also want to be genuine. My work today is an expression of this…be well…My chop, hand-made in China, says “Hope.”

Compassion:  to walk

A brief time in other’s shoes

Give of time and heart.

Art Prescription:  The holiday season brings out extremes in feelings. At any given point in life you or I may respond differently to a world where “everyone else seems normal.” No matter what holiday you celebrate, there is bound to be some roller-coaster of emotions. The perfect gift, time and heart!
