hot water


last night,

i turned up the shower really hot,

turned out all the lights,

and laid down at the bottom of the tub

letting the hot water fall on me.

i stayed there just praying and thinking until the hot water ran out.

i got out feeling calm, resolved, and ready for some change.

  1. This
    song is also very efficient when you don't have a shower near you and that you need to escape from your problem for a few minutes.
    I will end with a sentence that I love : "Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia."

    reminded me of:

    A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

  16. I love this post....I identify with this post!
    I always say I do my best thinking in the shower. And then I found out that due to the change of the molecular structure of the air we take in while showering, because of the hot water/steam, there is a scientific reason we think more clearly in there. Wild, huh?

    And, I tend to pray quite a bit in the shower....probably due to the fact that I'm thinking more clearly! ;)

    The honesty of this post is really lovely.

    Hooray for change!!
