Dried Seeds October 5, 2013

Dried still-life on stem

A globe of abundant seeds

Gather and harvest.

Art Prescription:  Gathering all the seeds in my garden…cosmos, cone-flower. Flowers are stunning when they are full of color, and I find a quiet kind of beauty in their dried state. The delicate lines amaze and invite me to take a closer look. Life is all about taking a closer look…how do you really feel…what do you really see…what reality do you really want. Take a closer look!!

Freshly cut green grass

Herbaceous, glistens in sun

Reap the seeds you sow.

Art Prescription:  I love to mow. It’s a Zen activity which is very rewarding. And as I’m rounding my flower gardens I notice what’s in bloom now. New perennials planted from botanical garden are doing their thing. Patience is a virtue when it comes to planting. As in life, the effort and planning you put into your future pays off down the road!!  Sow seeds of hope and gratitude…now water!
