Writing Prompts

Esther’s writing prompt

A shower can mean many things.

Rain falling soft against the earth. A sudden storm that arrives without warning. Or simply a few quiet moments behind a closed bathroom door, where the world finally goes silent.

For me, showers have often been places to think.

Some of life’s biggest thoughts arrive there —between steam and warm water, while the mind finally slows enough to listen.

Sometimes a shower washes away more than dust or tiredness. It rinses off heavy days. Worry. Tears no one saw.

I think many of us have stood under running water,pretending we are fine,while quietly trying to gather ourselves back together.

And then there are the joyful showers.

April showers feeding flowers. Meteor showers reminding us how small and magical the universe really is. Laughter when you get caught in unexpected rain and stop caring about getting soaked.

A shower is not always about being clean.

Sometimes it is renewal. A pause. A chance to begin again.

To stand still for a moment and whisper:

Right… let’s try again tomorrow.


With love, coffee, poetry, and stardust,

    Showers! I really love this piece; it really resonated, and it was so true 👍

    Showers don’t only clean our whole body, but they are where our fears really dissolve down the drain with water, and the best of thoughts come during showers. 🚿
