Feeling Good

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good


* Feeling Good, 1965 a song originally written for the musical The Roar of the Greasepaint- the Smell of the Crowd. By Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse.

Picasso in paris, 1900-1907

When Pablo Picasso arrived in Paris in 1900 a new world opened 

up for the nineteen-year-old painter. Developing his own style and 

getting inspiration in the work of artists such as Van Gogh, 

Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec and Steinlen.

"With pioneering works such as Melancholy woman (1901, Detroit 

Institute of Arts) from his melancholy Blue Period and the famous 

Self-portrait with a palette (1906, Philadelphia Museum of Art) from 

his Pink Period, he paved the way for Cubism, which would forever 

change the course of twentieth-century painting.

The exhibition in the Van Gogh Museum traces Picasso’s artistic 

development from his arrival in Paris until 1907, when he had grown 

into a leading figure of the French avant-garde."

Twitter Poem

The poem creates a space.
It hides in a tent in a forest.
Making its own bed it falls asleep in the dark,
wakes up under a lamp or the sun.

Billy Collins, whose new book of poems is “Horoscopes for the Dead.”

Up in the Air!

National Geographic Channel and a team of scientists, engineers, and two world-

class balloon pilots creating a real-life version of Pixar's animated hit film Up.

On March 5th at dawn they successfully launched a 16' X 16' house 18' tall with 

300 8' colored weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles, and 

set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. The 

entire experimental aircraft was more than 10 stories high, reached an altitude 

of over 10,000 feet, and flew for approximately one hour.

Marilyn Monroe by Richard Avedon

The thin line between actor and character, between the private self and 

the public role. "There was no such person as Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn 

Monroe was someone Marilyn Monroe invented, like an author creates a 

character. For hours she danced and sang and flirted and did this thing 

that's she did Marilyn Monroe. And then there was the inevitable drop. 

And when the night was over and the white wine was over and the dancing 

was over, she sat in the corner like a child, with everything gone. I saw her 

sitting quietly without expression on her face, and I walked towards her 

but I wouldn't photograph her without her knowledge of it. And as I came 

with the camera, I saw that she was not saying no."

From an interview with the filmmaker Helen Whitney.

Picture: Marilyn Monroe by Richard Avedon, May 6 1957, New York City.
