STUCK?
OMG. Leave it to Roy Kent’s wisdom on Ted Lasso to get me thinking about being stuck! What came out in my journal this morning after the “stuck” episode was this:
How Do I Get Unstuck?
Can I distance myself from my Self?
Can I stop being those icky things I dislike?
Can I do more of the things I DO like about myself?
OMG… Can I dare bare
And be aware of the
Wear and tear …
On in my psyche, “down there?”
Sitting in a chair
Under the stair
Wearing dread-locked hair
With the bear in its lair.
Indeed, it’s a scare.
A nightmare.
I care.
I swear.
That I can get unstuck, too, Roy.
Thanks! :-)
Here’s the reference — with no spoilers, by the way.
It’s from “International Break,” Season Three, Episode 10, where Roy wears a bright Red, Orange, and Yellow tie-dyed T-shirt (R, O, and Y is for ROY!), which is a birthday present from his niece, Phoebe. The aha is that while wearing the shirt, he realizes he is stuck and takes action to get unstuck. Awesome stuff!
Thanks, Roy Kent and the writers at Ted Lasso.
P.S. Other characters get unstuck in this episode, too, but okay — no spoilers.
