Wow! What a title for this blog post. It is enough to have people quickly pass on reading it just because of the title. But let’s face it – depression is getting more and more common in our present situation. I could likely write a book about the political situations in the world where polarisation is getting to be the norm. The anger that is spewing out from all sides of whatever political conflict that you can think of [and…
I got a message, or rather I should say, a Tweet, from Matthew McDermott that was also directed to other Naturist Fiction writers. He talks about doing some naked writing for National Nude Day, as well as offering a hope that a number of us other naturist fiction writers are able to do the same. Naturally, I always write while naked, so this is something that I can do in support of his hope that I and other naturist authors do the…
It was an early morning, as usual. For a rare change, it was 15 C, rather than the usual 10 C which made morning coffee outdoors very pleasant indeed. It didn’t take me long to take my seat in the sunshine for meditation. However, before doing so, my good wife had me covered in mosquito repellent, the oil product that I mentioned in a previous post. The time flew by with speed and it was time for breakfast and a…
For whatever reason, my computer is behaving a lot better. I have been able to mix research and writing without wait times of more than five minutes as I switch from web searches to Word. Often over the past week, I’ve had to shut down a number of times just to get Word to work. Working with images was a nightmare. Needless to say, I’m taking advantage of just an ordinarily slow computer until it becomes non-responsive again. I’ve been…
I’ve been home less than twenty-four hours and I can definitely say that I feel “at home.” For one thing, I get nude time at home. I don’t have limitations in our house other than when we have company over, or at meal times. Early this afternoon, I got to lay in the sun for three-quarters of an hour – I could have stayed longer, but that is long enough when there are things to do. I love being at…
It has been a busy day and I am finally able to get some time to write here though I’m not sure what I have to say that would be worth your time. Like I had mentioned at Naturist Fiction, I have been missing-in-action due to life getting in the way, and a writer’s block. Well, it isn’t quite a heavy writer’s block that is getting in the way. Being on the road and family obligations are taking up a…
ow, it isn’t that I like to complain, but the solstice has passed and the weather is acting like it is April here on the Canadian prairies. This morning, it is just 11 Celsius and it is still necessary to wear socks outside with clogs/crocs/whatever. This is just disgraceful. I mean, summer is short enough as it is without loosing another week to an extended spring. The forecast tells me that it won’t reach 21 Celsius until July 1st. Two…
Yes, it sounds like the beginning of a suspense novel. However, it is simply a description of the current weather. We’ve been hoping for rain for quite some time. Finally, it has arrived. With it, there has been a surprising drop in temperature. Here it is mid-morning with the rain on hold after just more than an inch of rain in the past 24 hours, and it is only 10 Celsius. Naturally, I am spending the morning, for the most…
It was sunny this morning, very windy. In spite of the wind, I found a windbreak of sorts for my morning meditation. I want to approach it from a position of mindfulness, a mindfulness of the body. Chogyam Trungpa tells us that : “Mindfulness of body, the first foundation of mindfulness, is connected with the need for a sense of being, a sense of groundedness.” Maybe this is part of the reason I prefer to meditate outdoors, close to the…
In the world of naturism, there is a lot of hiding from others. The average nudist or naturist club is surrounded by barriers which don’t allow passersby to see the naked people within. Often there is a locked gate with a code needed [or a key] which reinforces the secret of who is a nudist/naturist. The club I frequent is no different. Even within the club grounds, the secrecy is maintained. Often people only know each other by a first…
