One of the many miracles is that we as homo sapiens individuals often don’t know what our purpose in life is, while we as a species are a radical spreading plague with seemingly no other purpose than replication and domination of our environment (while slowly mutating and evolving one might add).
Fast replication seems to be built into our fabric, with the long term effect unfolding on a much larger time scale than the one individuals are concerned with. Brilliant.
How do you create such a system?

Our chosen remodel style for the master bathroom was modern contemporary in the existing floor plan with luxury touches. So we deleted the bath tub (we already had a tub in the second bath room), installed a steam shower (2kW unit), two shower heads, recessed lights and modern vanities with a tall counter. The tiled floors are electrically heated, including the floor inside the shower. This makes for comfortable steam shower sessions from the first minute on, when the bottom of the shower hasn’t fully warmed up yet. We’ve replaced the bathroom window and installed shelves above the sinks to keep the counters clear of clutter. The bathroom cabinets are glossy white with wide and narrow drawers all around. The cabinets have custom made aluminum brushed feet to match the proportions of the room. There’s some storage under the sinks, as well as above the toilet. All fixtures are in modern chrome. The fan is a heating/venting unit from Panasonic, that is exceptionally quiet, while providing a high cubic feet per minute airflow to vent out the steam from the room. The Shower cabinet is tiled all around with an especially chosen narrow grout. The ceiling is slanted to support the run-off of steam condensation water. The glass shower door is fully sealed and runs top to bottom. To gain some more space we converted the bathroom door into a pocket sliding door that disappears into the wall. Above the two sinks we’ve installed a large single mirror that is floating 1.5″ in front of the wall for an airy feel of the room. The large mirror helps to optically enlarge the space and to bounce around the light. In addition to 6 recessed lights in the ceiling, we’ve installed three pendant lights controlled by a dimmer in front of the mirror, for excellent lighting. The backsplash is made from blue metallic shining small tiles (these are hard to describe in text) providing some accent and texture. Even the pictures don’t do full justice to how they look. An accent tile stripe of the same material is used inside the shower. The shower has one built-in Silestone bench in gray on one side and a removable teak wood bench on the opposing end. The size of the cabin along with the two separate shower heads supports the parallel use of the steam shower by two adult people. The entire room is kept in a grey/white/chrome/blue-metallic color scheme. Needless to say we like the final result.

Nacht. Darkness. – Eine Silhouette einer Gestalt. An intruder!

Ein Traum? Ein Schrei.

“Aaaaah!” Auch ich schreie, LAUT! Die Gestalt schreit lauter.

“Daddy? I can’t sleep.” Hugs with an elevated heart rate.

Tears of fear and joy and warmth and Erleichterung.

Hugs. Belonging. Liebe. Geborgenheit.

“Sleep, silly goose”. I love you.

Together we’re one.

Fuer immer.

Always.
