about

Love Like A Stone, a prescient song if ever there was one, was written well before the upheavals that led to the departure of many and the continued presence of others. In retrospect I see this song is a blessing, a prayer, a wish. A toast to those who have moved on and to those who remain. It's been a rocky road. May we be united in love.

lyrics

There is a stone
It sits all alone
Beneath the waves where manatees play and barnacles grow
Upon the stone

And to love is abandon a sinking ship
Let loose your grip
As your world shifts

There is a tree
For centuries
It grows near a stone that calls the roots home and accompanies
All change in the tree

And to love is abandon a sinking ship
Let loose your grip
As your world shifts
And to love is to sit
With yourself or another
The shadows will lengthen, the eternal flame flutters

There is a boat
No longer can float
One plank at a time, it sinks in the brine, a stone plugs the hole
To grow means let go

And to love is abandon a sinking ship
Let loose your grip
As your world shifts
And to love is to sit
With yourself or another
The shadows will lengthen, the eternal flame flutters
To love is to be, is to see, bearing witness
Drop the detritus, enjoy what unites us
Love like a stone
