Beds

We don't think about beds nearly enough. They are everything for us. We sleep in them, we play in them, we were (probably) born in them and will die in them, we make love in them, we rest in them. A bed is all you need to have a home. Forget the structure, you don't need a mattress or a frame. All you need is a place where you regularly lie your head. Why don't we thank our beds? Maybe there is a bed god...makes as much sense as a Christian god. I lie down in my bed and I know that it is the last place on the planet which I would have defiled. The warmth and comfort of lying my head here every night is beyond a spiritual experience. It's as if the world could be known from lying in bed. It's a great place. A bed...

If anyone's reading this, anywhere, at anytime...thank your bed. And if you are, perchance, lying in a bed at this moment, give it a nice big hug from me.
