They think it strange that I swim naked
in the sea. But I think they must get over this fear, the fear to
their natural image, the fear to feelings that their own image could
produce on them. Those feelings... those sensations will be even
stronger if they stay on their dark island of body's cage.
All I lack is a wilder Earth, a more
natural landscape, a little of freedom to be naked from time to time,
some friends to sing and enjoy life as life is. Life is as our mind
is. If we live full of fears It is as we live in a jail, perhaps in
the worst jail, the jail of our own mind. Life is too short to live
in a jail. We must choose the best of life and live it. We must catch
life with both hands, bravely, and to decide living life without bad
willings, helping people, and being free.
At first, we think that all in life is
ruled by labels. Labels seem to be guides for life, words that decide
what life is, what existence is. We have dictionaries, and we think
that dictionaries fix what life is; but dictionaries learn from
existence too; they don't decide what existence is, they only try to
explain what existence is, so that they never know the whole of life.
Dictionaries are big books full of labels, and people sometimes think
that life is only the reality we find on dictionaries. This is a
tragic mistake. Nobody can encage life in a book, or in a list of
labels. Realities are unique realities, each reality is different and
only, each reality need its own label, and label is just a word.
The naked life in nature helps people
to get out of their mind jail. At times people discover that all
their skin is a whole sense, like a receptor of wind's caress. This
sensations arouse ancient genetic memories of homeland's signs. And I
say "Homeland", not as a country or nation but as a
landscape, as an earth, as a land. Our true homeland are the woods,
the sea, the shore line of beaches, the meadows, the wind, the rain,
the sun... When we are naked we feel as if we were a part of this
homeland. At other times, people realise that their nude body is a
nice reality not because it obeys social canons but because they see
themselves like they were for ever and ever, when human being evolved
in this pretty Earth, our treasure.
