Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Pieces of tree can be beautiful individually, pieces of humans only when they're assembled. (self.showerthoughts)

Like, you can see a leaf on and think "wow, that's a beautiful leaf". You may even pick it up to admire it (especially if you're a child or a biologist). You wouldn't do that with a strand of human hair, a human nail clipping, or even less with the parts that aren't supposed to come off like hands or eyes.

Not if you work with surgeons. On probably a weekly basis I hear things like "oh, that's a beautiful gallbladder!" during a laparoscopic case, or "aww look at that adorable little tumor! Sorry buddy, you still gotta go." during a TURBT.

Uh, doc? You considered taking some vacation time? Lol.
