BABIES AREN’T ZEN

Sometimes I need to go to a quiet place. A place of serenity and privacy where I can escape from the world and think uninterrupted thoughts. I’m talking, of course, about the bathroom.

But bathrooms aren’t zen, say you. In fact, aren’t they actually even less zen than babies?

That’s where you would be wrong, and it would be clear you’d never used the women’s bathroom at The Bohemian in West Seattle. This particular bathroom rivals what I can only imagine a spa to be like. Classy light fixtures, paper towels softer than I knew existed, and — in addition to a classy freshening fragrance spray — complimentary hairspray and hand lotion on a swanky little wooden table.

I had the privilege of using said bathroom today…but I didn’t stay too long. A yoga class was beginning in there soon.
