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 space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took this photo above in hopes of somehow turning it into a version of the Vitruvian Man. It is the first full frontal photo I have taken, something that I wouldn&#8217;t have thought of in the past. Something is shifting within me. I am becoming more obsessed with finding time to be nude. That obsession is psychological. This is the second year of my retirement and I am still trying to carve out a new way of being and living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog site is part of that new way of being. I realise that by putting this into the world, others whom I don&#8217;t know will be seeing it. But more important to me is the fact that I can look at the post as an observer. My psychological nature is always searching for ways to understand myself and others. Daring to see myself &#8220;fully&#8221; is daunting and revealing. I truly wonder what I will learn and if it even matters. Oh, and by the way, here is the version of the Vitruvian Man that I ended up with using a photo editing program, I call it &#8220;<em>The Man in the Moon<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"655\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/rglongpre.ca\/naturism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/man-in-the-moon.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32\" style=\"width:300px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rglongpre.ca\/naturism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/man-in-the-moon.jpg 655w, https:\/\/rglongpre.ca\/naturism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/man-in-the-moon-295x300.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been in Costa Rica a couple of weeks.
