I am keeping it pinned to the top.

Experience

I spent three weeks in a sanctuary.
During my time there I used to attend a consecrated body of water every day.
The idea is, you come and stay in cool water for 15-20 minutes and then proceed to the temple for meditation.
Water sits at the bottom of a massive structure, supported by arches and filled with steps spread across three floors.
To keep people silent in this vast echoing space, janitors hold signs and employ gestures.
My first visits, I used to perform peacekeeping missions too.
While slowly getting into a focus, something would disturb me and I would "tschhh!" it.
Observing this, day by day, the dip in cool water was becoming a powerful tool to dive deeper and deeper.
The external and internal noise was becoming irrelevant.
Slowly, there was no need to cancel it.
Becoming silent.
Becoming silence.

Places to go

All of a sudden, the talk about bathing is around a lot.

1. There is a sauna on the roof of a unicorn.

2. There is a tub at someone's who says 'of cause' instead of 'of course'.

Where does your bathing story take place?

Further further notes

There is this weird thing, a paradox that I shall perhaps welcome.
This project is not about bathing nor hot tubs nor saunas.
Yet they lead the way once the focus is shifted as if it was.
It's great.

The bottom line is
This project is about bathing, hot tubs, and saunas.
