Bare Naked

The intamicy of bare naked allowed me to feel it deep, the raw feeling of truth, the immediate connection of whatever was within, the beauty, the uncomfortable feeling, the awareness, the self, the wetness of water, the place to stand weak, warm and cold, the fear felt without clothing to hood over the head and hide, the worry felt without a sweater to wrap tight and hold close, the confusion, the hate, anger and more, awe the smile, the focus, the blessing of being able to take another's pain and reach deep within to share it, the stranger, the neighbor, the enemy, the friend, the mother, father, spouse, children, awe the awaking of going this deep within, the giggle of coming out of the gap, the memory of, the shower, the place to wash away, dry off and walk away
