Naked!!
Naked
I got kicked two times in the buttocks the other night. Those of you who have seen the movie “Waiting” know exactly why this happened. The night before I had come to see my nephews running around the house in their birthdays suits. It was comical at best as they had no shame to their bodies. What a contrast this drew for me.
At what age do we lose that innocence? I remember as a child sprinting around the house naked, and my dad ushering me upstairs. As I have gotten older, our personal bodies become more and more an issue. I am extremely modest when it comes to my body. Rarely would I shower in public facilities in high school or college. As a boy scout, I would wake up at 2 am just to shower while no one else was around. Yet I am not ashamed of my body in any way, I just choose not to show it everyone. I tend to keep a lot of things more private these days, not just my body.
In many of my past relationships some of the most intimate moments came as I would be naked with a woman. One of my girlfriends would hide under the covers if I turned the lights on, and she was one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met. As the case with many ladies, they have much more of an image issue then men, so I think it was even more intimate for them than me. Nevertheless, the ability to lay naked with another person that you care about is the ultimate sign of trust. In some more casual relationships, the clothes would return after the nighttime acrobatics, but the relationships that meant the most were the ones with nothing to hide.
A couple of my guy friends have no problem being naked. As much as I would like them to keep there clothes on, somehow after a few drinks, they always find a way to get their private parts exposed for the whole world to see. Ironically these two individuals, who do not know each other, have a very similar way about them. Their lives are open books for all to see, and I truly admire their ability to honest about themselves at all times.
I wonder what would have happened if Adam never ate the apple? Ralph Lauren shirts or Levi’s Jeans cannot hide the shame that many of us carry around, so we find other ways to dress up our shortcomings in hopes that others will accept us. The be told if we were all just naked, maybe it would be a little easier to talk about things, maybe we would all get along a little better?
I want to get naked. Not in a physical sense, but in a way were I am free to express my thoughts without fear of judgment or chastisements. I want to be able to speak my mind freely without fear of exposing my inner thoughts. My friend’s get on me for always bringing up deep issue’s…well, sorry, but that is who I am, and that is how I think. I find fascinating how many people hide their ideas on certain issues like a birthmark’s they try to cover up with long sleeves? We are who we are, and we should never be ashamed of any part of that!! So lets all just get naked and talk it out!!
Maybe I should join a Nudist colony?
