Adieu, cheerio

Bye-bye, good-bye, fare you well.

Every language knows.

Art Prescription: Loss knows no boundaries. In every culture around the world there are terms for saying good-by to friends and family. My good-good neighbors are moving…I will miss them! Writing my haiku’s are helping me express my feelings.

Moon swells over pines

“Who cooks for you?” asks the owl.

Great tides ebb and flow.

Art Prescription: Everyday is different. No matter what your day brings, there is always peace to be found in the rhythm of the natural world. Where ever you are in the world the moon cycles and the tides change. Quietly observe and find wholeness! OR howl at the moon!

Neighbors, neighborhoods

People and place that nourish

Children play outside.

Art Prescription: It’s Saturday and lawn-mowers are starting to buzz. Folks are getting out, and the sound of children playing fills the air. We live in a wonderful neighborhood. Serendipity put us here…a place to make friends.

Twigs, leaves, moss, lichens

Woven with plans for future.

This a bird’s nest makes.

Art Prescription: Birds are industrious! If you have a chance to look closely at a nest, you will see planning and construction. It’s very interesting to see materials birds choose, sometimes string or netting, a soft cozy place for eggs and then fledglings. A bird’s nest is a beautiful work of art!

Reddish-purple dots

Scatter the woods and roadside

Redbud trees blooming.

Art Prescription: In North Carolina you know it’s spring when you begin seeing the beautiful Redbud trees showing off their blooms. Flowers come in all shapes and sizes…what trees bloom in your neck of the woods?
