Yesterday evening I gave a Jungian presentation at Layla Guesthouse on the topic of Individuation. I was surprised at how many people actually came to listen as psychology isn’t exactly a hot topic here. At the end of the presentation, a youngish Mexican woman asked if I would take her on as a client for psychotherapy. I hadn’t even thought of that possibility. Naturally, I said yes with the first session set for later this afternoon at our place. I…
We arrived at Casa Sorpresas in time to spend New Year’s Eve in a warm place. It was unbelievably cold when we took the taxi from the Heritage Inn in Saskatoon to the airport. Once at the Casa, it didn’t take me long to get out of my clothing. Neither of us worried about my being outside of the studio while not wearing any clothing. Having made certain with Kim, our landlady who lived in the front part of the…
Christmas is only days away and my daughter from the USA will be coming with her family tomorrow evening to spend Christmas with us. It has been a busy month for me as a writer. I published a new book called A Small Company of Pilgrims and the second book of Naked Poetry. The first book of poetry now had 360 free downloads. That success and the addition of the second book of poetry had my wife suggest that I…
Why do good people do bad things? It’s a question that needs to be asked as well as trying to define what is bad. Is it bad to be nude? It depends whom you ask. In the general scheme of things, I doubt that the universe particularly cares if you or I wear or don’t clothing. In spiritual terms, perhaps nudity is the most spiritual way to approach the numinous. Egyptian priests used to shave themselves until they were hairless…
I just realized that I haven’t been to Green Haven this year, nor to Helios which we had planned on visiting. It was almost all due to wet and cold weather. I did visit Green Haven last September, alone. I had gone to Winnipeg to buy a new-to-us camping trailer. We had made a lot of good use of the camper since then with all of that use being related to hiking and training for the Camino which we will…
I am in Estevan waiting for my appointment to try and deal with my allergies. The drive here was good as I easily handled driving alone. I found a pull out about 40 kilometres from my home, so I stopped and decided to remove my shirt and shorts. I risked taking this photo even though it was risky with passing traffic. For a while, I did wonder if passing truckers could see that I was nude while driving. I was…
When I have finished with my morning coffee, I will head out for another short hike while the world is still sleeping. I woke up at 6:30 this morning, at least woke up as I knew that it was time to wake up. The sky was light for quite some time before. There were few campers at the campgrounds. Yesterday, I risked going for a walk along a few paths and went to the edge of the lake. I wasn’t…
I was sitting in my usual chair yesterday evening, reading, while my wife sat on the love seat talking on the phone to her sister when our neighbour from two doors down quietly entered our house. This is the same woman who has frequently come over while my wife was at work. Of course, she has visited our house much more than that, sometimes with her husband in tow. And in case you are wondering, yes this is the same…
It’s the last day of June and it is cold and dreary out. Looking back at the weekend which I had originally planned on spending at Green Haven; it was a good decision to stay home. It has been raining off and on most of the time with only a few hours of sunshine on Saturday which I put to good use with a naturist hike in the hills and valley south of town. I can’t say as I really…
I haven’t done any free-hiking since last month. I have taken to mowing my back lawn while nude when I have the house to myself. It is what it is, and I don’t want to complain. After all, there could be less naturism in my life if push came to shove. I have continued to meditate and write in my office while nude, and I have even found some time when camping for a bit of nudity in the add-on…
