feelin good?

in the depth of winter, i'm feeling a little melancholy. since i'm not at my studio, i haven't 'made' anything (except for work and one birthday present) for almost a month! i am getting antsy!

sunday i will spend the AM in hugo celebrating my dad's birthday, and then we are going down to rochester to celebrate with aunts and uncles too. i know i have so much to be thankful for in this life (not the least of which is a new PRESIDENT!), i feel guilty for wanting more. but sometimes...i feel like those crows know what it's like to be searching for something you can never quite find........

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 I'm 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

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