I Feel Great, Great, Great! I Feel Terrific! Jun. 18, 2007 Previously Published On May 8, 2005 (Editor's Note: Thomas Keyes, currently on sabbatical in South America, is one of U-K's best, and certainly most prolific authors. While he is away, we will be featuring some of his best work from our useless archives. We hope you enjoy reading these wonderfully written pieces a second time, as much as we did.) ------------ I feel great, great, great! Every day, day in, day out, I feel fine, terrific, splendid! I feel so good I almost feel guilty! Surely I should have some aches and pains, some troubling dilemmas, some complicated relationships, but no, I don’t! I don’t have even the slightest suggestion of a problem. Nothing ever hurts. I always feel like a million dollars! I always sleep to my heart’s content, then get up and find a million and one things to do, and I’m at it all day, happy as a bee in clover. I know that in my days I didn’t often do the right things, but somehow or other, I came out with flying colors, feeling as if I own the world. I always feel good, but especially when the sky is clear and the sun in shining. I love a warm, sunny day, with blue skies flown with wee white cloudlets here and there, generally still, but with just a puff of a light, cool breeze now and again. It doesn’t take a great deal to make me happy. A nice bath in the morning, followed by a few exercises and a light breakfast, and I’m all set. If I walk out and there’s a stray dog on the street that will let me pet it, I’m in raptures. As I go along, my whole body feels a sense of ease and comfort, and I stride spryly along, passing everyone on the street. I can feel the pliancy in my limbs and torso. I can feel the spring in my gait. Nobody even knows what I do. No one could even guess what I’m all about. No one has the slightest idea what’s really going on inside of me. But it’s intriguing and fascinating. I don’t know what boredom is. I don’t know what anxiety is. I don’t know what depression is. I once knew these things, but I’ve forgotten. I don’t have any friends. I don’t want any friends. I don’t have any relatives. I don’t want any relatives. I don’t have any employers or employees. I don’t want any employers or employees. I once had all these people. They’re just a nuisance. Freedom begins when they disappear. They all just want something. They’re there to take, not to give. I could die any day. It makes no difference. Or I could live forever. It makes no difference. I’m ready for whatever may come. Each day is its own little treasure. So I enjoy it while it lasts. If it’s the last day, so be it! No one will miss me. No one will mourn for me. No one will remember me. But that’s not my problem. I'll be blissfully nonexistent and oblivious. But for the time being, I feel great, great, great! I never felt better. I feel tremendous and terrific. ------------ About the author Thomas Keyes: I have written two books: A SOJOURN IN ASIA (non-fiction) and A TALE OF UNG (fiction), neither published so far.
