A song for long precious life.
Holidays are here!
Art Prescription: The iconoclastic pumpkin is…simply beautiful. I’ve painted, so far, three different variations of the pumpkin and will share in future blogs. I’m busy cutting rice paper leaves for the UNC Hospital Remembering Tree and had lots of small pieces of paper left over. Always a fan of trying a new technique, I made a tiny collage.
We reap what we sow
Plant briars, no roses grow
No care, life will wilt.
Art Prescription: All the health care debate news has got me thinking about reaping what we sow. I’m not sure what the answer is for America, it’s so complicated, but I do know we each have some personal responsibility for our own health and well-being. We only have one pass at this precious life, and our day-to-day choices make a difference in our future.
Neglected plants wilt
Tended to they grow, blossom
Relationships too!
Art Prescription: Every day we both consciously and unconsciously decide where to put our energy and love. Sometimes the spiral of life is going so fast that we spend our time speeding around playing catch-up. For me knowing what truly makes me happy and balanced helps me tend the right garden. But…oh…it’s so easy to get caught up in chaos. Usually our body or our mind will “real” us back in and make us think, what do I really want for my one precious life.
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!
