At-peace Quote by Nigel Slater

“Night bathing feels different to that done in the early morning. More meditative, a time to reflect rather than refresh. Enveloped in warm, still water, with just the scent of witch hazel or winter jasmine carried by the steam, the body, if not the spirit, feels at prayer.” quote by Nigel Slater
