Crow caws chant
, still air
Late warm sun casts long shadows
Sweat rolls down my face.
Art Prescription: Sometimes it’s interesting to just walk and listen. What’s the most distant sound you hear? Walking can be a meditation…step after step…being in the moment with what’s going on around you.
Run like a gazelle
Swim like a dolphin, movement
Honor your body.
Art Prescription: Okay so I don’t run like a gazelle. I am a swimmer and it is my brain boosting drug of choice. Swimming to me is like meditation. I get into a rhythm and my mind can wander freely. Feeling weightless in the water perhaps is primordial. We are all built differently – is there a sport you identify with – dancing, fencing, walking, hiking, biking, tennis, golf…Main thing is to care for your sexy body!! Cheers!
Warm sun long shadows
The woods now cool and shaded
Pansies stand and smile.
Art Prescription: Trying to learn something new is a challenge, but supposed to be good for the brain!!
Sun dances on floor
Yoga bends mind and body
Ah shavasana.
Art Prescription: I like quiet places and calm people. When I step outside my comfort zone I suffer. It’s taken me a lot of years to figure this out. I’m a creature of habit. Do you know what your comfort zone is?
Purr, sound of a cat
Pink padded paws make biscuits
My belly the dough!
Art Prescription: One of the delightful perks of working from home is to be able to take mini-breaks in order to get a massage. My cats love nothing better than when I put my legs up a wall for a restorative yoga pose and they can hop up and knead my head, belly, back… We call it a “company break.” It’s important to take breaks!! You will go back to your work refueled.
Snow melts on the ridge
Flows into a nearby stream
Sum part of the whole.
Art Prescription: Spring is about renewal. One element changing into another, each just as important. Do you find yourself judging? Weighing what’s really important in your life? Get peaceful with art, yoga, or meditation and you will know.
