The zen of laundry

My friends think I am crazy for enjoying laundry day (or weekend now that my washer and dryer as a whole lot smaller than the ones featured in tonight's blog pic).  It is not the waiting that I find enjoyable.  In fact, that is the most tedious part of it.  It is the folding that I find such a zen experience.

Folding is very simple and focused process, sort of like origami, but with larger material.  I do not enjoy the putting away the folded clothes, but the act of folding is very calming and soothing process.  What is even more insane is that it does not need to be my own laundry I am folding, it could be any one's laundry.

So why is this my topic of choice this evening?  Well, today was one of those days I needed a moment of zen and folding provided that to me.  How sad my life is that I am in need of that kind of centering.  What a year this is starting off to be.
