Mountain Sojourn

When I stand naked in nature, there is that which is innate. It’s as a sense of God, or a nebulous being that is all in nature, something greater. I just kind of “get it.” I am that. The nature of the universe is what it is and my sense of it is awe.

At the same time, I take a bare step, with all of that sensuality, sensation, amazing coordination, in an interaction of astounding numbers of ways. I live in this vehicle. I am of this vehicle and it is of the rest. Each step is a prayer.

Here I am, lost in a whole. I am everything and I am nothing, yet I observe.

DF and I are going on a sojourn in the mountains. We’ll come back when the monsoon returns and begin the eighth year of publishing this website.

I am on the forum of FreeRangeNaturism.com often, if you would like to converse.

Big Bend State Park: Pt III

2022-09-28

Number 20 in the Georgia and Back Series

We are staying at a rustic campground in Big Bend State Park near the banks of the Rio Grande River. There has been a great deal of rain this season and recent flooding. The flow of the Rio Grande River is still running pretty high with some rapids and there is uncertainty as to what is under the muddy brown water.

We set out to see if we can find a beach, a spot to take a dip and inspect the extent of the flood and damage.

Nobody else is in the 45 other campsites along this river bend. Nobody has been here since we arrived, except for a few moments.

We can walk through the dunes and brush and down to the river and back. We can hide our bare bodies, if need be. We grab our cameras and some water for a late afternoon stroll.

Big Bend State Park Hike

2022-09-28

To Georgia and Back Series Pt.19

We awaken in another world. Having been back east for the last few weeks, this contrast seems stark. The hills are green with low vegetation which accents the colors in the rocks. When the sun peaks over these hills in the morning and evening, an orange/red glow takes over. 

It is very quiet. Rush hour consists of two lone trucks heading up a distant hillside grade. One and then in a while, one more. We have this world to ourselves. The air is warm as the sun bakes away any chill. I step out into the caress of clear air.

“I still can’t believe those stars last night!”

“I know!”

“You’d have to be sitting in a boat out in the middle of an ocean for that.”

I look out at the glowing hills that stretch upstream along the Rio Grande canyon. I breathe deep and stretch my body with one of the local lizards.

 

There’s a slot canyon, a hike that I’d like to try, but that’s later. Right now, I’m here. I’ll pluck a few cords and notes on my little guitar, watch, just be. This is good. There’s no hurry, no mission, just the wondrous here and at the moment.

 The Hike:
