Shampoo and Soap

  
    If shampoo and soap 
      could wash away
    the sins I may commit today

    I’d stand for hours
      beneath a shower
    Anything so as not to pray

I suppose we all look for the 'easy' way...wash, rinse, repeat is what the ego wants not humility and prayer. Good one, Gershon.

Wow and How, and Now I say Holy cow. It isn't my norm to form no reaction as I have not formed now. Perhaps, if I had a cleanser, a Wow rinser, I might find my thoughts in a bind beneath the Wow that is all my mind has Now. CayCay at play, drive slowly
