Take the Leap

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
-Eric Fromm

The Duke

Duke Ellington's 'Rockin' in Rhythm',
You can hear him yelling out.
Must feel so good
To play such feel good music.

Theme Song

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

Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good

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

Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, dont you know
Butterflies all havin fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
Thats 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

-Micheal Buble's song as sung by Nina Simone

Alfred

If, indeed, it is evening-

Good evening.
-Alfred Hitchcock

I Embark

In placid hours well-pleased we dream
Of many a brave unbodied scheme.
But form to lend, pulsed life create,
What unlike things must meet and mate:
A flame to melt- a wind to freeze;
Sad patience-joyous energies;
Humility-yet pride and scorn;
Instinct and study; love and hate;
Audacity-reverence. These must mate,
And fuse with Jacob's mystic heart,
To wrestle with the angel-Art.
-Herbert Melville

One sentence follows another, is born of the other, and I feel as I see it being born and growing within me an almost physical rapture. This artesian welling up is the result of my long subconscious preparation.
-Andre Gide

Sensuality

"A Sensualist: giving all, nakedly, luxuriously, without a trace of minimalist reductionism."
(As defined by Harry Rand in regards to artist Hundertwasser's approach to life)
