Haiku April 28, 2013 Spring Cleaning

Save for rainy day.

Boxes, bags, and tubs of stuff.

Spring clean, the garage!

Art Prescription:  What is it about us humans that we like to save stuff? Can’t discard something, because we might “need” it in the future. The future arrives and we find ourselves sorting through things we haven’t seen in a while, and still we feel attached. “That was my grandmothers,” or “from my childhood,” or “so and so gave that to me.” And so my rainy day was spent cleaning and clearing and my feng shui is alive and well!!

This is actually something I won’t part with…a charming cabinet made by my grandfather! Love it!

Bright sunshine spring clean

Cobwebs cleared from mind, garage

Salt bath and Rose!

Art Prescription:  After a very busy week, I took today “off.” This involved washing my van, yard work, cleaning out garage…etc. Spring cleaning can be rejuvenating. My reward a lavender, eucalyptus, salt, hot bath while reading poetry and sipping a lovely Rose…life is good!
