Running down a dream
We chase money, fame, fortune
Chance to simply bloom.
Art Prescription: To be at peace with yourself is to be at peace with others…What are we chasing? A flower plans a whole year just to bloom, if only for one day…

Search for signs of spring
Subtle in January
Blooms, blue-birds, robins.
Art Prescription: Once the sun came out today I went for a sketch-walk looking for signs of spring.

Soft Voice January 21, 2015
Low, soft voice of hers
Is precisely the spirit
In the entire world.

Deer January 10, 2015
Six brown eyes on us
They stand like statues in grass
Deer at Mason Farm!
Art Prescription: A nature walk with my best friend, my love…Lots of birds and owls talking about territory. So beautiful. Around the bend we came up on a deer family. They of course saw us first.

Outside Looking In January 8, 2015
Warm glow from windows
Folks settle, evening time
January chill.
Art Prescription: As I walk in the dusk and see all the warmly lit homes, it reminds me of how fortunate we all are. I’m so grateful that at the flip of a switch I can get warmer. Simple daily pleasures. Wish all mankind and creatures warmth…

Running down a day
Chasing the hands of a clock
Or take a nice walk.
Art Prescription: Some days are meant for running, and some meant for slow walks in the woods.

Spirit of Christmas Past December 22, 2014
Christmas tangerines
In a pretty box with nuts
Under grandma’s tree.
Art Prescription: The holidays can be rough. Seems family dynamics are amplified. The world is spinning too fast. And most of us just want it to be over so our lives can get back to normal. Did our grandparents feel this way? I have some pretty super memories of simple gifts of fruit and nuts under my grandmother’s multi-colored light tree. I think we expect way too much out of ourselves!! Go easy…
