This sounds like me after I've been camping, although I go to be away from all that ritual we do daily. Like this a lot.

ohh, this kind of cleansing rite is a pure soul's request, dear russell... " brush your dirty hair firmly" has a profound poetic tone; i am awed as always with your clear yet vivid images... :) hugggs!
