Life’s most fascinating insights come to me,

in between loads of laundry.

It is fascinating somehow,

in doing the most trivial tasks,

how my mind overflows with questions,

that to myself I ask.

And while throwing in another load,

another answer I am told.

It is amazing while waiting,

for wash, rinse and spin,

how much I learn about the person within.

So never again will I grimace and gripe,

at the mundane motions that engulf my life.

Nor will I look to my day with dread,

when feeling that I am in way over my head,

amongst the massive piles of garments that surround me.

Because the best part of my day is spent,

with me – in between loads of laundry.
