down to earth

I just showered for the first time in a bit underestimating that it would actually be like therapy to me in many other ways and that’s what happened.

Disclaimer: no I am not a homeless person who does not have access to a shower, don’t worry, I generally have excellent hygiene or so I like to think, however sometimes you get so busy that you skip a day or two (or three) we’ve all been there… anyway…suffice it to say that with any break from anything you end up reappreciating the thing you lacked on a higher level than you sometimes expect.

…I felt like I had creative juices flowing in my mind as the water was rushing down on my head. Like the synapses in my brain were out to try to mimic the water or something. I’m taking my synapses out for a walk. It really is a wonderful shelter, the shower, because at the same time you’re very warm, feel safe and then on the other hand there’s a movement in the water that sparks some messages in your brain to work, like you’re not alone and you have this inevitable contest between your brain and the rate of the water flow. Or like you have a little life partner and it’s name is water, and you can confide in it anything you wish.
