To be naked.
I would love to be naked everywhere I go.
I would like you to be naked to.
No clothes.
No barriers.
No secrets.
We could be comfortable in that.
I was walking today, contemplating how strange as "Homo sapiens" we are above the animal kingdom. We wear clothes. Does any other creature participate in such a ridiculous notion? Not that I know of. And yet that has been our key to survival, I would assume, from the very beginning of our history. Why do we wear clothes?
To stay warm.
For protection.
To express our sense of self.
Clothing is commonly given as a gift. I rarely wear any of the clothes that are given to me by others. Often, they are all wrong for me. They aren't something I would ever wear myself. And yet, I claim to not care how I look. I throw on whatever comes to mind or hand first, and then deal with the consequences.
Clothing is a fascinating anthropological interest of mine. When we stood on two feet and lost our fur for warmth, I wonder what the significance of that was?
