S-aaaaaaah!-una

I think it get it now, why it is the Scandinavian folk like saunas so much. Nope, not just because it's freaky cold most of the year wherever you find lots of white folk. My theory is, and it must apply to all other pigment-deprived folk, a sauna feels just like sunshine on your body, but without the threat of sunburn! Picture me laying on that bench (if I sit up my head is too much hotter than the rest of me!), pretending to sunbathe :) I wonder if there is a Spiritual history to saunas... I was reminded of the sweat I did and how purification of the body is really metaphorical to purification of the Self. A great way to prepare myself for the upcoming days of joyful madness and over stimulation (yes, it even happens to me!). I was ready to jump into the cool pool (it seems cold, but I'm sure it's just cool) after 15 minutes of a good dry heat :) I may have to check that out again when the boy wakes up!
