Wayward sheep in field
Find your way home safe and warm
Trodden trail leads you.
Art Prescription: Every time I turn into my driveway a wave of peace rolls over me. My home, my heart, my everything…home.

Shimmering Forest July 6, 2014
A back-lit forest
Light and shadow dance on leaves
Air still with July.
Art Prescription: Celebrating Independence Day weekend by hiking at Mason Farm Nature Preserve. Can’t think of anything more freeing than to roam around on open land watching nature and all her beauties.
Born to Soar June 30, 2014
You were born with wings
Jump and spread them wide to soar
Catch current of life.
Art Prescription: It is really all about the here and now. It takes mental homework to remind myself of this daily. Not to get caught up in the past or future. Might be time for some 3 x 5 notecards placed on my mirror.
Bull Frogs June 29, 2014
The pond at daybreak
Bull frogs play Marco Polo
Loudest croaker wins.
Art Prescription: Six a.m. dog walking for my neighbors has benefits. It’s nice and cool, the birds are waking up with song, and there’s a game going on at the pond. Here is Duffy after a hot late day walk.
Opossum June 27, 2014
Wake up pure silly
Neither asleep nor awake
A dream-like vision.
Plant and Rest June 26, 2014
A new magazine
The air conditioner churns
Cool air sweeps my cheeks.
Art Prescription: What a luxury! To pause in the middle of the day to rest and peruse my newest Stampington magazine. Inspiration page to page. And my garden abloom.
Greetings June 24, 2014
A simple greeting
A pure smile to a stranger
The act of “Hello.”
Art Prescription: One smile can change someone’s day.
Sing True June 22, 2014
I forgo my voice
Trying to sing like others
My throat trembles truth.
Art Prescription: Why does it always take so long to circle back around to our truths?
After a Ride June 21, 2014
After morning ride
She gets a spray, cool water
Returns to the hay.
Art Prescription: Rode Miss Lacey this morning. Went early to beat the heat. I love spraying her down with cool water, washing the saddle-marked sweat from her white body. She enjoys it too! I return her to the paddock where fresh hay awaits. A grazing horse…Zen.
Summer Dreaming June 19, 2014
Bougainvillea
A long walk on the hot sand
Sea glimmers turquoise.
Art Prescription: I’m off from my nursing job, and dreaming of vacation. Long beach walks, sea gulls laughing, salty breeze, palm trees rattling in the wind, and sunsets over the sea.
