NAKED EXPLORATION

Nothing cleanses the mind like submersion in a frigid mountain stream.

It can often be hard to know your true self in the city. There are so many things demanding your attention, requiring interaction, obligations and responsibilities, commitments and plans. To really get to know ourselves we exchange that hectic, demanding, confusing setting for one of balance, beauty, and calm. We explore the cold mountain waters and shadowy forest floors and return with a better understanding of who we really are.

We explore the mountains and forests filled with tall trees and rushing rivers. But there are many layers that need exploration. The world brushing your ankles while your eyes are turned to the tree tops is full of excitement and beauty.

That time I found a lamp, met a genie and didn’t wish for a damn thing…

Keep exploring.

Exploring the wilderness and exploring yourself are one and the same.

We returned from our wedding/vacation just in time for the World Naked Bike Ride. It is incredible how out of place and uncomfortable you DON’T feel when bare among hundreds of other people whose only care is to protest fossil fuel dependency, promote body positivity, and feel the wind caress their skin while riding their bike through the streets of Portland.
