I wanted this first post to be an introduction. And then I wondered, what do you put in an introduction? How do you introduce what has taken decades to assemble? Is there a way to sum up my thoughts, my life, what I intend to type here when it hasn't yet happened, and make it interesting enough to appeal to those who might read it? And is that why I'm writing a blog - to attract a following? I don't know ...
That's why, I started to set up this blog yesterday, but never did put anything down. And then today happened. It was an interesting day, one that started off like many others, and then like many days recently, it took a turn.
Let me start by saying I'm a nudist, I guess you could define me as a closet nudist. Not many people know about my nudism, my family doesn't accept it, and this morning I was going to put it on hold or out of my mind for the foreseeable future. And then the sun came out, I went out for lunch, and it drew me in through the afternoon until it got to the point where I could not stand staying in anymore. So when I could in the afternoon, I went to the beach, didn't get a parking spot (not that I looked much), and used that as an excuse to go to Black's Beach (yes, I'm in San Diego). I'm glad I did. I took my profile photograph there, and even though I wasn't prepared for the beach, I had a good couple of hours communing with the sun, the sand and the water.
And that's how I decided to write my "introduction". I decided that it will be an introduction in steps. It's going to be easier to get right to it and start putting down my thoughts, and narrating my stories, and over time I will have introduced myself. That is, after all, how one finds out about others all the time. Any initial introduction is very limited. It's our subsequent interactions that really help us to get to know others.
A space in space for me to put my thoughts down.
