SHOWERS EVERY SECOND


"Shower Light", pastel,
by Johanna Bohoy
 Sometimes I start the day with a shower, but in fact, every single second starts with a cleansing shower of sorts. After all, each moment is made right here, right now, absolutely new, and therefore fresh and spotless. No matter how tired and tedious life can sometimes seem, each second actually spreads out in an upsurge of unreserved newness. Oldness is in my mind, not in what’s made moment by moment. I sometimes think thoughts of oldness, but even those thoughts are as unsullied as a sunrise. No moment in the past was exactly like this one, and therefore this one rises as a new-made miracle, just out of the freshening shower of the universe.
