It\u2019s a good day. Then again, most days have become good as the years wear on. Fortunately, I have good health which helps. Today I got out once again for a naturist hike, or free-hike as many of my friends like to call it. I walked about eleven kilometres at a good pace of 5.4 kph. Once I had found my meditation stone near the bottom of a hill, I stopped for a short while for a second meditation followed by a refreshing lemonade that I had brought along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could have complained, as the temperature was only 16 Celsius when I began the walk, rising to 19 degrees by the time the walk was done. For those who are curious, I drive about four to six kilometres before parking the truck and beginning to walk. Today I drove 4.2 kilometres from my home in town to a point about 1 kilometre from a friend\u2019s house, a friend who isn\u2019t a naturist. The prairies are wide open spaces which offer more privacy than one could ever realise. Though it was cool and often shady because of many clouds in the sky, I revelled in the freedom of walking without the restrictions of clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that many of us don\u2019t realise just how much space is available to us for naturism in towns and cities. Obviously for those who live outside of a community, the only boundaries are the ones that are self-imposed. Having just experienced three cities in the past few weeks, I was able to find moments in each of them for freedom from clothing, even if only for a few moments. In all three, I found more than a few moments. Freedom from clothing isn\u2019t defined by being indoors or out-of-doors, it is defined by being naked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are truly in a situation where there is zero possibility of nudity, then it is time to choose to either embrace the life you have, or to do something to change the condition. Of course, I am speaking to adults here, not children. Adults have choices for the most part. Since my wife works in a nursing home, I am truly aware that there are a few situations and conditions which don\u2019t allow for changing one\u2019s life. In those situations, it is often enough to simply be alive. If you are truly needing some nudity in your life, ask yourself a few questions and listen to your answers and determine if they are honest answers or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Do you truly want to have more nudity in your life? This is about you, not about someone else close to you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Why? Again, answer about yourself without referencing another person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What is stopping you from achieving more nude time in your life? In answering this, give as many obstacles as you can find, and this includes others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. What are you going to change about yourself and your situation to achieve what you want in terms of more nudity? This is a tough one. You can only change yourself, and that with supreme effort.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019ll be listening for your answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
