Songs for Our Journey 31

I wrote this song in a joyful moment after many months of healing.  It's a long story, which perhaps I will post at some point.  But the way I got well was through slowing way down and meditating a lot.  In that process I learned that connecting with gravity in a deep way, relaxing the body, and watching the breath is a doorway to awareness of the deep peace, joy and love at our core.  This song was a celebration of that peace which is always available when we turn our awareness in the direction, as Adyashanti says, of "that which is not thought". 

Got Enough Socks

Got enough socks, got enough shoes
Got enough reasons to sing the blues
What I need, you can't buy in a store
Found a little nothing on a back road
And I want a little bit more

Nothin' on my mind, no fear in my heart
Nothin' to finish, and nothin' to start
When I get nowhere, no reason to leave
I'll just sit down there, on the grass and breathe

Got enough shirts, got enough hats
Got enough info-mercials, and enough talk radio facts
What I need, any fool would choose
Found a little nothin' at midnight now
I got nothin' to lose

Nothin' to say, nothin' to prove
I got nothin' in the way of a real slow groove
When I get a lot of nothing saved up gonna share it with you
Gonna throw a party, and give y'all
Nothin' to do
