The end of lead rope
Command, control, compassion
Communication.
Art Prescription: The four C’s…day at farm…zen!

Organized Studio January 12, 2014
Place for everything
First unload drawers and sift
Brain clear, now create!!
Art Prescription: I decided today to organize my studio. I started by emptying all drawers and making a list of what goes where…not a job for the weak. Hours later, my space is clean and I know where things are! This calls for a salt bath…
Life’s little Luxuries January 9, 2014
Bird choir sings, all rise
Sun’s entourage, glowing pink
Fog escapes my lips.
Art Prescription: Beautiful sunrise as I went out to feed birds! A luxurious moment!
Moon and Sun December 20, 2013
With drama the sun
Makes her entry, bold pink swaths
Lullabies the moon.
Art Prescription: Tomorrow is the longest night of the year and shortest day. Early this morning I observed the sun and the moon biding adieu to each other.
Patience December 19, 2013
Patience is virtue
Time, precious privilege
Lucky to have both!
Art Prescription: Most people don’t have both…actually lucky to have one or the other. In our ramped up society, seems most folks are racing with the clock, hurry-up, hurry-up. Do we waste our days rushing through?
Detachment November 23, 2013
Art of detachment
Throughout the forest each leaf
Knows when to let go.
Missed Opportunity October 20, 2013
Silent swoop above
She navigates with sheer stealth
Wise creature, the owl.
Art Prescription: Are you in tune with your environment? Do you pause to notice all that is grandeur around you? Did you miss the flight of the owl? Life is a fleeting moment…be in the moment.
The River September 12, 2013
Just be in the flow
The river runs to the sea
Float and be, let go.
Art Prescription: Sometimes the best thing you can do is to simply let go and float. Quit trying so hard to swim up stream! Do you even know where you are trying to get? So float, be buoyant, weightless…
Haiku August 30, 2013 Courage To Change
Dog barks in distance
Low August sun warms shoulders
Pull rock from my shoe.
Art Prescription: How long have I walked with that rock in my shoe? Feeling one-sided, out of balance, slightly annoyed. I heard the constant click as my foot hit the path, but didn’t really stop to see what was there. Like most of life, we have to make a conscious decision to pay attention.
Ah, the decision cascade: If this, then that, and what if? And we limp along.
What if it was really as simple as taking the rock from your shoe and moving on one step at a time!!
ps. the rock will be fine, rocks have their place, that’s how they became rocks…you my friend have become water, dynamic and flowing!
Haiku April 18, 2013 One Prescious Life
Go where the love is.
Wake up, jump out of bed with
A joie de vivre!
Art Prescription: Are you living your life to it’s fullest? Do you stop and smell the roses, or are you rushing about getting from point A to point B without enthusiasm? Can you add some small subtle details to enhance your daily life? Just 5 minutes of noticing something beautiful, something that moves your spirit…
