A Light In The Darkness

I get up early. It’s not by choice as it means by the evening I am tired. A late night usually means a ten or ten-thirty bedtime. Not many weeks ago, it was already daytime rather than not even a hint of an approaching dawn. I am a genuine morning person. Assuming that every day begins in darkness, at least by the calendar and the clock, and ends in darkness, there is no way to avoid darkness in our lives.

Okay, this is sounding like some sort of excuse to talk about psychology. You should be warned, I have this tendency to bring in psychological themes here. I actually can’t help it. It is part of my introverted nature and my background and training as a psychotherapist.

My wife is still sleeping, at least for a little longer. When she gets up, we will sit by our fireplace with our drapes wide open in the background. With coffee in hand, we talk together before sitting silently and sipping freshly ground coffee. It’s our morning ritual when the morning temperature is below ten degrees Celsius. It’s four degrees outside in case you are wondering. Remember, Canada is the true North, strong and free – at least for now.

We have problems. We have fascists in our own house. You know, the people who want to desperately control others. Oh, just in case you didn’t know, I could be labelled as anti-fascist [antifa]. Yes, I am also a naturist as well. You see, being antifa also means believing in freedom to be who you are and empathetic. I can choose to wear clothing or not when it is good for me and those around me. That is an important distinction. Freedom isn’t just about me doing or saying what I want, when I want.

My next-door neighbour to the east has a young family. The family is a recent addition to the neighbourhood. They are good people, and friendly people as well. With a nine-year-old daughter and a year old set of twins, there is no desire on my part to risk them remaining good neighbours. So, I choose my time and place for nudity accordingly. I think you get the picture.

On another topic, I have put up a few more of my early posts, dated with their original dates for publishing. Check them out. I wrote four posts that survived, while in Costa Rica in 2010.
