ZEN: Suds


Sometimes things line up in perfect harmony.
The little scrubby brush.
The water temperature.
The perfect suds.

Washing dishes becomes a pleasure. The suds flowing effortlessly. The water is hot and facilitates perfect cleaning - just at the point before it feels scalding. Rinsing produces a satisfying squeak of cleanliness.

The dishes line up like a jigsaw puzzle in the drying rack.

All is well in the world and the sink empties.

You're full of surprises, aren't you?
