Haiku May 13, 2012 Mother’s Day

Nature makes babies

Nurture and love makes mothers

Hug, kiss, encourage.

Art Prescription: The hardest and most rewarding job on earth must be parenthood. I did a meet and greet at A Southern Season today and met beaming parents, proud of their graduates! A mother’s love carries us through thick and thin. Mothers are there to make our world safe and build us into the people we might become! On this day they get to have breakfast in bed,  get pampered with gifts, put up on the queen’s seat!! Tomorrow she will return to snotty noses, carpooling, ballet practice, dinner, her work,  and refilling the toilet paper, but right now!! she reigns! Long live the Queen!

Industriousness

Some have it others do not

Why spend life idle?

Art Prescription:  Today is my grandmother’s birthday. She was one of the most industrious people I’ve ever known. She lived alone and made her life complete and content by gardening, quilting, canning, cooking, sewing, reading… I feel very sorry for people who can’t find their way in the world with purpose and energy. We have this one precious life to live each day to its fullest!! I’m extremely thankful I married an industrious man…made my grandma proud!! Happy Birthday Annie! Miss you!

Big golden moon hangs

Over new hopes and plans for

A future, hopes, dreams.

Art Prescription: Went to my cousin’s son’s wedding. Beautiful couple. Weddings are good to remind us of the love that carries us through our past, present, and future. Cheers…

Soaring, floating high

On air currents glide winged friends

Above my safe home.

Art Prescription: I’m working on a house portrait for a gift. Our dear neighbors are moving. Painting their house is bittersweet…we will miss them dearly. They are moving to be with their daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild! Life coming full circle. With each stroke of my paint brush I bid them well. Art is a great way to work through life changes.
