my querencia (spanish for a place where you feel safe, at home, protected, invincible) is here:
and here
and here:
oh, and here:
but perhaps my #1 favorite querencia is here:
that’s right: the shower.
it’s not much to look at, but i like to call it home as often as possible.
it’s there i can relax and
wash away all the day’s dirt and dreariness.
it’s always 5:00 in the shower
where i can sit on the ledge and
and do my best thinking
with a glass of wine or a martini.
in the shower, i can be totally alone.
there’s no phone – just running water
to drown out the sounds of the day around me.
besides the car, it’s where i do my best (and loudest) singing.
i can be totally alone there.
the cats don’t like the shower very much,
the dog can’t open the door,
and my kids are old enough to know that if they wander in,
they’ll go blind at the sight.
