I received an hilarious email from my son this morning. He has many funny experiences in his life. He seems to stumble into them without looking for them.
Last night he was invited to the home of a friend who recently purchased a home from the widow of the late actor Heath Ledger. The friend has not yet moved into the place but was eager to show it off. My son fell in love with a claw footed bathtub in one of the bathrooms. He told his friend that there is only a shower at the place where he lives and has not had a hot soak in a tub for a couple of months now, so his friend told him to run himself a bath and enjoy himself.
He said that it was the most amazing spiritual experience, sitting in a gorgeous antique bathtub, in an otherwise completely empty, formerly celebrity owned, residence, watching his toes and fingers wrinkle up in the hot water. He spent an hour in the tub contemplating life and spirit and career. He is at a bit of a crossroads in his life and has many questions to answer over the next 3 months about what he is going to do for his next body of art work and where he is going to live, etc. The serenity of sitting so long in the never ending flow of hot water and just having time to think made God seem so close again.
What a delightful experience he had, all alone, soaking in a tub in a big empty celebrity residence in the middle of a great big city....typical of his life experiences and so much fun for us to read about.
