I enjoyed this writing… and agree that water and being immersed in it creates a feeling of zen and freedom of mind chatter. 🤗❤️

Such lovely writing. I’ve enjoyed reading all of these stories and this one might be my favorite so far. Feeling small rumblings of inspiration to write more myself… thank you for that, and please keep writing :) xo

That's the best - feeling inspired while you absorb! Sometimes it takes years to release certain words, music or art - but it always finds its way out eventually.

This is precisely how I feel about the way water falls down upon me or the way I sink beneath the surface of it. Showers are for thinking indeed, song writing, future planing, they are intense and ripe with the scent of mania, rushing and pushing... Baths on the other hand are a holding place of who we are in that moment, they allow us space to be and unravel ourselves so that we and that water are simply "one"

This is a beautifully accurate piece my friend. In my youth I was a shower girl, now I am a "bath woman"~
