Written 06.15.09. I just found this in an old notebook and thought I'd share it with y'all:
Showers
There's the jump-in-quick shower
and the long, luxurious shower.
There's the I'm-really-dirty-get-clean shower
and the grooming shower.
...the end-of-the-day-relax-and-get-ready-for-bed shower and
the wake-me-up shower.
...the before-swimming shower and
the after-the-beach shower.
...the small and sweet before-we-cuddle shower and
the after-loving shower.
...the out-in-nature camp shower.
...the shower in grandma's tight, small, funny-smelling bathroom.
...the low water pressure drizzle and
the blow me away pressure wash shower.
...the two-person shower.
...the baby's first shower with daddy.
...the sloppy, messy six-year old shower.
...the locker room group shower.
...the truck-stop pay shower.
...the hotel room, wash-quick-cause-this-does-not-look-so-clean shower.
And so many more.
A shower is fun. Its an all-alone place; a place to sing, think, talk to yourself, talk to God; a private sanctuary to de-stress....away from the kids, the boss, the class, traffic and all who demand your attention. Although in some showers others may be invited in, a lover, a child, or some type of public shower, overall showers are private.
Showers are a marvelous invention!
I think I'll go take one.
