Small yellow petals
Surface amongst piles of leaves
Winter Aconite.
Art Prescription: The first of the tiny wildflowers that take advantage of the sun minus the tree canopy.

Girly Stuff February 3, 2015
Muddy boots under
A red velvet dress, kick-up
Halo around moon.
Art Prescription: Watercolor, pen and ink, and my chop that says “hope.”
Journal Prompt February 2, 2015
Quite simply where will
Lonely dreaming take you now?
No need for a map.
Art Prescription: I recently heard a talk about boredom. Because we are all so plugged in constantly, we allow no time for loneliness or boredom. And boredom may be where great ideas come from!! The mind, quiet from distraction, listens to the creator within. Voila! A dream is born…

And the Sky is Grey January 29, 2015
Familiar song
Spring dreaming on winter’s day
Robins do gather.
Art Prescription: I’ve started to notice groups of robins in the trees singing their familiar chortle. It’s so reassuring…
This is a watercolor tree in progress.
Stained Glass January 19, 2015
Certain slant of light
The ordinary thing turns
Magnificent whole.
Art Prescription: On any given day…at any given hour…things look different.

Pioneers January 18, 2015
Pioneer people
Trail blazers, carving a path
Into the future!
Art Prescription: Spent most of my day clearing a new path for horse-back riding! Beautiful day, and I can’t wait to bring Finn over to these beautiful woods.

Yin and Yang January 2, 2014
Live by the sunlight
Dream sweet by glow of the moon
Seek the yin and yang.
Art Prescription: One secret to life is balance. How do you achieve the sweet spot of finding joy everyday?
Per Thoreau December 30, 2014
Direction of dreams
Success in common hours
A life imagined.
Art Prescription: 2014 is rolling out…2015 is rolling in. What successes in unexpected common hours do you desire? What endeavors and dreams do you have?
I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of dreams, and endeavors to live the life imagined, she/he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
-Henry David Thoreau

Donkey December 26, 2014
Aw-hee, caw, caw, caw
December sounds from the farm
Donkey, crow, blue-birds!
Art Prescription: I somehow spent my entire day at the farm. Even took a “nap” in the back of my van. So peaceful! Just the sunshine and sounds of the critters.

Thick Fog December 23, 2014
A deep thick grey fog
Settles across open field
A flock of geese graze.
Art Prescription: There is something soothing about fog. The way it just lazily lingers…making everything a bit out of focus. To stand in tree pose in yoga I find a soft gaze most beneficial. When I try too hard…my balance gets all out of whack. Perhaps we don’t always need to see so clearly!! A little bit softer now…
