A hot shower on demand would have looked like magic to almost everyone who ever lived. Enjoy the magic.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Familiarity is very good at hiding how unlikely something is. Hot water whenever you want it, light at two in the morning, a device that plays any song ever recorded: these would have read as sorcery to nearly everyone who has ever been alive, and you use them half asleep. Nothing is wrong with you for that. Attention just slides off anything that is always available.

Tomorrow morning, take thirty seconds of the shower and actually be in it. Notice the heat, and notice that it arrived because you turned a handle. It is a small thing, it is free, and you can do it every single day.
