In the Woods May 28, 2015

Art Prescription: So I was out caring for Finn while two classes of 8 to 10 year old girls came to the farm for lessons. A steady rain meant no riding, but there is so much more to learn at the barn about caring for horses. It’s getting cool tonight so the girls helped put out extra hay for all.

The sacred rivers

Here are the sun and the moon

A blissful temple.

Art Prescription: So I find the sacred in nature, my animals, and the rhythm of life. What do you find sacred?

Path leads down a hill

Solitude, discovery

Woodland grassy cove.

Art Prescription: I took the path less traveled. And found a beautiful grassy cove.

Sugar, spice, and sass

Sweet little mare with long bangs

Knew what I needed.

Art Prescription: I rode Shelly today. After feeding over the winter I was intrigued by this spirited mare. She would always come to greet me at the gate. Finn is healing and getting some time off. I really enjoyed Shelly’s energy today…just what I needed.

Ignoring forecast

Nature moves ahead with spring

And renewal plans.

Art Prescription: Robins and blue birds confirm that spring is coming. Hold on to your hat while Old Man Winter gives us a final blow.

Time specializes

In alterations of dreams

It is not too late.

Art Prescription: As I went about helping to prepare the farm for a winter storm, I had a thought of wishing this love had of occurred earlier in my life. Then I realized it’s just PERFECT.

Hair salted with hay

Muddy hand-prints adorn pants

Makings of happy!

Art Prescription: I love being out at the farm in the morning with the horses. They greet me close to the gait waiting for their breakfast. Fresh hay is very exciting. The cardinals are singing and the clouds break into sunshine.
