    Feelin' Groovy

    One of my favourite-st songs of all time. I thank my father for introducing me to Simon and Garfunkel. The lyrics are so simple, they're almost stupid. But that's the "happy' they describe. A stupid, reasonless, cheesy joy, that makes you grin!!


    A joy in your heart, a lightness of being thats free of all burdens and responsibility. I've felt like this sometimes- when i had no expectatitons to meet, no urgent work requiring my attention and no tensions distracting me from the awareness of "just existing"!!.


    Everytime I've had this feeling, I've always stopped what ever I was doing and savoured it, because I know it's very momentary, and enjoyed every second of it. I generally close my eyes and just feel the feeling, and I feel an instantaneous smile on my face. I never try to restrain that smile, even though i get a lot of funny glances. It's a genuine smile, and I let the feeling enter every pore of my being, so that I feel loved and blessed and happy to my core. I want to smile and make everyone feel like I'm feeling.


    You always have to work your ass off, or get really entrenched in something, and then emerge out of it before you get this feeling. Maybe I'm trying to describe satisfaction. But thats a more advanced kind of feeling. What I feel is very basic. And simple. And even a little stupid. Oneday you get up and you want to whistle and smile at everyone and wish them good morning. And really mean it.


    Anyway, the song goes...


    Slow down, you move too fast.
    You got to make the morning last.
    Just kicking down the cobble stones.
    Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.

    Hello lamppost,
    What cha knowing?
    I've come to watch your flowers growing.
    Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
    Doot-in' doo-doo,
    Feelin' groovy.

    Got no deeds to do,
    No promises to keep
    .
    I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
    Let the morning time drop all its petals on me.
    Life, I love you,
    All is groovy.
