Nudism Is Being True To Yourself And Can Lead To Higher Callings

It's hard to read, but the cup says, "Live With Pride" and I am doing just that. I am proud of who I am and what I am. There is no part of me that I am, or should be, ashamed of. My body, my actions - all of it I'm proud of.

Society teaches us to hate our bodies and to only see an unatonable body form as beautiful. With the nudist movement, those who are true nudists, don't see people as shapes, sizes, colors, sexes - they just see a human being. Judgment is left to the actions of people, nothing else. We don't care how much money you have or what you look like, or what your job is.

I'm truly grateful to my father for allowing us to be nude in the home as children, and that he was doing the same thing. He gave me the ability to love myself even in a world that looks down on how you look. This extended to the textile side of my life when I had to have clothing on in public places like school - I had no shame if my clothing did not look as "nice" as other kids.

Dad taught me many things other than to never feel shame for my body. He taught me to be kind to others, and to help when I can and how I can. Dad gave 10% of he take home pay to charity every single month until he retired. After that he just could not afford to do so.

There where times when he had dealings with people traveling though our beautiful city, and they where in need. He often gave them a meal and a room for the night. Sometimes he even payed for winter clothing as they did not have adequate clothing for the Saskatchewan winters - in those days it could be - 50C for a week or two at a time.

He never just locked people up and left it to the courts. He tried to help them find a better path. There where several times when years later a person would show up at the police station and thank him to his face for changing their lives for the better.

This shaped the person I became and I almost always had love in my heart for all around me - even those who would harm me. I forgave many wrongs done to me, even ones that where very profound wrongs. In my teens and early 20's I had a problem with anger, but it was caused by depression being displaced by anger. When I found a way past that, my life improved a great deal. Yes, I had some falls in my life when I needed to be helped by the medical system to come back to the person I am, but the fight was always worth it. Now with the right meds after so many years, my life is beautiful.

I have no nudist friends in my city, and I wish I did. I miss social nudity very much. The joy of being with like minded people and enjoying life in the most free manner possible is a great gift. I'm glad I had the opportunity to go to nudist camps, beaches and even a couple of resorts in my younger days. I'm glad that I got to go to countless weekends at a friends farm and be with many of my kind. Finally, I'm glad that I don't see nudity as sexual, because it's very much not - this is a fallacy imparted on us by the religious kind and it has done great harm to humanity.

Be free my friends and know you are loved, you are valid, and you are worthy. Stay true to a path of kindness and understanding. Never give into the ways of the world and it's greed and hate - be one with nature and be one with humanity. Yes, I find nudism to be spiritual as well, and think it brings me closer to the Lord - but It's perfectly OK if you don't believe that way, you are worthy anyway. Love to you all and have joy in your hearts.
