We decide to spend extra days, to just “be” in this lovely space. We eat and cook, have a fire in the evening when it chills a bit, but that is more for entertainment. Usually, we just read to each other in the cozy tent.
We are not totally lethargic throughout the day. Every so often, we must move from creeping sun and back into shade, or shade to sun. With a lack of clothing, aware in the world of nuance, enhanced with the millions of pores and cells across our bodies, we find comfort moving chairs and “stuff” from micro weather band to micro-climate band. Sitting still for too long isn’t healthy, nor is sitting too long in the direct mountain sun. A healthy body demands that we all keep moving.
We read, we talk, we dream and plan. We breathe and move at a pace that guides us through the day more like a flow. A personal flow, like water, must ebb with flow, as it gathers and releases in the bends of rivers. There are these bends like a sound, a bird call, a falling branch disturbing the silence. A bend taking our notice may be a gust of wind in the trees, or an urge to move, or shift, or to get up and stretch, all the while feeling the warmth of sun heat muscles and release. Any of these in the breadth of a moment are of the plenty. There is abundance and there is satisfyingly enough.
Self-care is more than relaxing. DF heads out into the woods to find just the place to do a session of chi gung and meditation. How she finds her perfect place is some of that magic that one just knows, or senses, when it appears.
I wander in a quest for a branch to grasp, to hang and stretch out my spine. DF gives my discovery a try. It feels good. Sometime in the course of the day, I try out the resistance training bands that I’ve been too busy to get around to use, until now.
Something occurs to me and I write, or rummage through the maps and books, planning the next adventure.
There is a lot of just feeling blessed and grateful.
Lately, TheFreeRangeNaturist.org visitor’s numbers have doubled. After digging around in the webpage stats, we discovered that we have become very popular in China! Thank-you, all of you in China. We are pleased to have you joining us. I wonder if the sudden explosion had to do with linking the mention that DF does a solitary practice of Chi Gung/Qui Gung. She also leads Chi Gung groups at a local park. When we visit the hot springs, the group she teaches finds a benefit to enjoy it nude in the sun and amongst the trees and grasses.
I am on the forum of FreeRangeNaturism.com often, if you would like to converse.
