Soap Rocks

I’m still staying off my soapbox, but being a Manhattan- ess, I’m rather obsessive about washing my hands.  These soap rocks are a perfect replacement and quite grounding.  The organic shapes are calming as are the colors, influenced by stones such as amethyst, aquamarine, turquoise, and fire opal.  What’s not to love about that?
Not to mention…

Grounding

I’m staying off my soap box and washing my hands of all the drama.  It’s entirely too messy.

Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle was a perfect travel companion on my flight home from Texas. 
And…
“If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.” (-KV)
“THESE ARE NOT Bokonon’’s words.  They are mine.
Sweet wraith,
Invisible mist of
I am-
My soul-
Wraith lovesick o’erlong,
O’erlong alone:
Wouldst another sweet soul meet?
Long have I
Advised the ill
As to where two souls
Might tryst.
My soles, [...]
