I am hesitating in putting this image here. I know that it is a photo of a penis, but I don’t think I could call it a dick pic. There is nothing sexual about it. There is a story behind the image that needs telling. But before I tell it, I have to say that I am not doing well mentally. I have fallen into a depression. Or, perhaps I should say that a long term depression has been building…
I am definitely turning red, not the same red as one gets from a sunburn, but a rich red-brown colour, and it pleases me. I am almost matching the colour of the private sunning space accessed from our bedroom. I can’t believe that it is already March. In a way, that is a depressing thought as it means that we will be returning to winter in Saskatchewan and the Canadian prairies. I am surprised at how much easier it is…
I went outside of the compound for a mid-afternoon walk earlier today, a solo expedition. I wanted a specific kind of image that I could use to write up a series of posts on Alchemy for my Jungian Lens blog site, a place that I had been posting to quite regularly for more than a year. However, I hadn’t thought it would be an image of me nude. When I saw this location which was quite surrounded by brush, I…
We have been in Costa Rica a couple of weeks. We have a small condo in a gated community. We are very close to the beach, just two blocks away. We have a small private space behind the condo where typically one would hang clothing out to dry. I have taken to using this space for nude meditation and sunbathing with the blessing of my wife. After all, no one can see over the eight-foot high walls of this small…
This is my first “selfie” taken on the southern shore of the Gulf of Mexico. When I went for a solo walk this morning, I was feeling antsy. Our place along the shore is not very private , so other than in the Casa, nudity is a rare event. Even in this instance, because I just didn’t know if I would be seen, I kept my shirt on when I emerged from behind a dune to approach the sea. Still,…
We both got contracts to teach at a university in China following my retirement for the second time this past summer. We have finished the first term of exams and are enjoying a six-week break until the second term starts. The terms have sixteen weeks of classes and the second term always starts after the Chinese New Year. Because I had managed to connect with a Chinese woman called Jenny from Shanghai through an expat group. Jenny is her English…
This image was taken by my wife, not the first image she has taken of me while I was nude in Cuba during this two week Christmas vacation at an all-inclusive resort in Veradero. My face betrays my mood. I had just been informed that my services as a principal was no longer required as of the end of the current school year. I have more than thirty years service, so it is a signal that it is time for…
