Art that Heals Cards

Arbutus Tree
Galiano Island, BC

The Arbutus tree stands
Timeless, silent
Stretching across the wood porch
All one can hear
Is the gentle ripple of the stream
This cold spring evening.

Cliffhouse - Galiano Island, BC

I am filling myself again
With silence
Peace
Water sounds
Tea
Bath
Soaking in the quiet evening
Ocean water lapping
Against the rocks below

Miracles

We hope for miracles
We settle for what is
The heart, in quiet silence keeps seeking
As life is daily lived
The awe of the miracles makes us cry
Whether they happen or they don't
Sometimes we touch the miracle
For an instant
And even that instant
Gives us "hope"

Palm Tree, Bali

I feel myself falling
Into the languid rhythm
of these days
Lost in timelessness
Knowing only the needs of the body
The patterns of the hours
The heat of the sun
The breeze and it's refreshing coolness
The sound of the sea
The liquid peace that is poured over everything
Like soft melted butter

Nature speaks to me
Through all these things
Pulling me quietly into myself
Deeper and deeper
Until every moment
Is a ripple on the sea of silence

Lilacs

We need to create - even a little
Time spent in creating each day is medicine
It balances and heals our souls and our hearts
It brings us to our centre.
It brings us peace.

Dragonfly - Galiano Island, BC

Taking time
Taking a moment
To make all things beautiful
To see the inherent beauty
In all things

Legian, Bali

Overripe mangos
Big as melons
Fall with a soft thud
Into dusty alleys
To burst open
Revealing soft fragrant orange pulp

Thatched roofs
Ornately carved doors
Sculptured stone fences
Vines and flowers
Weaving over them

I wake hours before dawn
To the crow of the roosters
And birds calling out from palm trees

Saltspring View

Time seems to stop
Time stand still
Only the gentle stream moves
As it winds it's way down to the sea

Galiano Island, BC

Nature always whispers to me here
Remnants of poems
Words of truth
To bring me home
To the essence of all things
The magic is always here

Candidasa, Bali

Tonight,
Last night
In this transcendent place
I have absorbed through every pore
The peace that pervades -
The sounds of the sea
The pounding of the waves
As we sat together under starlit skies
And watched the dark drifting clouds
Swallow the glowing half moon
Then spit it out again
As they glided on the wind
Sitting in silence
Breathing in the night sea air
We felt grateful for the gifts
Of these days.
