I love to get lost in thought. It’s not something all of us are in the practice of doing every day, and that’s a shame. We pack our lives to the gills, with work, obligations, and entertainment seeping in from all sides. When we’re walking somewhere, we’re listening to a podcast. When we’re about to go to bed, we’re scrolling on our phones. When we wake up in the morning, we listen to music. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I mean we’re at least a lot more informed than we once were. But all of that chatter doesn’t always lead to the most introspective places.
One of the few true sanctuaries away from the voices of others is the shower. (Hopefully) nobody will bother us in there. It’s just us, the water, and our objective to clean ourselves. So it’s no wonder that it’s where we come up with some of our best ideas.
