Stuck. Unstuck.

Sometimes feel like I’m overstuffed.
The book is finished but it wasn’t enough
The game is over, the team’s long gone,
only Sherlock’s violin playing this silly so-o-ong
Drop the kids off, ready for quiet.
Unload back home, but really not delighted.
I’m even tired of this nothing I’m doing
Scrolled the phone, dog a bone, had a nap, but I’m still …
Feeling Stuck.
Eyes closed, can’t fall asleep.
Feeling Stuck.
So tired of counting sheep
I just want this to be over with,
I just want this to be done.
Feeling Stuck. Thank God I don’t own a gun
You gotta tell yourself it’s just not that bad.
The you from yesterday would kill for this,
and now “You’re Sad!”
It’s ok. I get it, we’ve been here before
just take one small step, away from this depressing shore
To - Do list feels crushing, so toss it aside.
Pump up your tires, and go for a bike ride.
Or simply do, the simplest thing.
Your mind will revolt, but that’s when we sing
Getting Unstuck.
If not now, when?
Make a comeback, like Andrew Luck.
Getting Unstuck.
Taking a shower, droplets falling on our head,
and feeling our power grow
Getting Unstuck.
Eat some food, rising further up out of the muck
Now we’re Unstuck.
Getting schtuff done, writing tunes,
living life, and even Having fun

Keep on checking for a message that won't come
keep on scrolling, but your time can not be won
can't sit still long enough to scratch this itch (Down in a ditch)
But you're doing fine, you always got yourself
You can fall apart, but get the lighting right
Get your exercise, but blood & breath collide
(onto something, should I go live?)
We're all searching for our people
Just a few hundred "likes" and I'll be fine
Please Love me, I'm really not all right
Send Light
Keep remembering the battles already won
Keep on posting 'bout the sadness & the fun
Sit still, let Her secrets be revealed
Please remember we are all one people
Of the earth & the earth will be just fine
Creation Continues so Kindle your Light
No need to check for that message, it won't come
No need to scroll endlessly, your time is won
Sit still, let your meditation ring
(MIND BODY SPIRIT RII-aa-A-aNG)
Please remember we are all one people
Of the earth & the earth will be just fine
Creation Continues so Kindle your Light

Dwell in this moment, we’ve got to breathe deep
We think it’s not okay, but we’re just fine
Just to linger, savor this right now
We can go, in a sec, spirit aligned
Moment it stretches, this still motion
Breathe deep the tidings, now we’re the ocean
The waves are building, but now we’ve got to slow down
Slow down, slow down, come back
Life she pulls, crowds will move
Instincts and a harsh whip
A veil, a wisp of smoke, an illusion
We can move past, the pain the suffering
When we, forgive, our self salvation
At once, at One ment
We are the pain
We are the suffering, we are the rain
The floods are rising, now’s the time to slow down
Slow down, breathe deep, come back
We’re ok, but others aren’t that way, so now we must work hard
The One has broke apart
We must fight, to re-establish right, but only if we keep at heart
This moment
Moment,
This Moment
Moment it stretches, expanding time
Breathe deep the rhythm, now we are the rhyme
Boots are stomping, so now we’ve got to slow down
Slow down, slow down, breathe now

So you think you know
All the answers, but then God shows you
How wrong you are
How far
You will travel on this earth, to discover
This one simple truth
Get used to disappointment
The best laid plans of mice and men
Will all fall into the ocean
So Do what you can, do what you will
Numb your senses, take your stupid pills and be happy
Grow your soma and chew your fat
I won’t take part and I won’t be back
No I won’t last
I won’t last
I won’t last,
No I won’t last

My Grandma Marge spent the last several years of her life in a nursing home
I can recall paying her visits, playing and singing on the piano that was there
She was the most honest audience a young guy like me could ever ask for
She smiled when it was good
She covered her ears when it was bad
May You Be Happy May You Be Healthy May You Live a Life at Ease
May You Be Happy May You Be Healthy May You Live a Life at Ease
May You Be Safe
Little Tillie now rocks in a rocking chair, that was built for my Grandpa John
That’s Four generations of little boys and girls (Life at Ease)
Olivers and Marquises, Sommers and Mersches,
Now we have Robinsons and little Stringham-Marquises, that’s a beautiful thing
My Great Grandpa was named Welcome, My Grandpa was named Guy
Both of them were named Merritt. I really like these names
You are welcome, how you doing Guy? Even If you’re not at your best
Your family still loves you, we are your family, and Merit is always on your side
You are holy, You are love, You are Worthy
My Grandma Dorothy mmm-hmm-mmm-mm-hmmm
