the dance of 20 mint green toes..

Last night I had the absolute best shower of my entire life. I am not exaggerating. Taunted by the memory of forgetting an assignment and wanting an escape, I decided to turn on a steaming hot shower and invite relaxation to overcome my mind and body. Looking down to the floor of the tub, I noticed how tenderly pinkish my feet had become set off by the cool mint green nail polish my roommate had let me borrow. I was in a trance as I watched my left foot go flat and my right toes tap in front of me to the beat of "Stop This Train" by John Mayer. I was completely content with staying in that shower for the rest of the night, watching my feet dance to the beat of a song I desired to live at that moment, stopping the ''train'' of a school work load. Come to find out when I was all dry and in comfy pajamas that my sweet roommate was in her shower freezing to death! I can just imagine her feet washed white from the frigid cold water, blending with the softness of her mint green nail polish all the while I am having a paradise in my bathroom with John Mayer and vanilla mango bodywash. It's kind of like life... we have so many similarities with people (mint green nailpolish) and assume they are living identiacal lives next to us, all the while they're stuck in a bitterly cold situation and no one even notices because they're too warm and romanced by life's lavish offerings to look into the other bathroom.

  1. "romanced by life's lavish offerings" nice, Jane Austen.

  2. Sister Staci, I'm so excited to get to read about your life and your thoughts here. (And maybe some day you will post a song you've written? Pray about it). There is truth in your words.
