The challenge of spring
Spring - I love it!
The sun is out, my eyes see green where ever I go and the daylight hours are increasing.
I am hoping that this glorious weather will chase away my winter blues and it will. But not without a transition period.
Yesterday I was reminded that with the warmer weather I will have to expose my body. Don't get me wrong - I adore being naked in the privacy of my own home and if I had my way it would not be illegal to swim naked because it feels so much nicer than clingy bathers.
But, I am just not comfortable semi clad. It goes hand in hand with the bulimia I had as a young woman and is something I do not understand. In part it is because I fear the lurid attentions of dangerous men, but I fear my love for my own body took a terrible fall a long time ago and that this is the crux of the matter.
When I am most stressed I look to my cat and dogs on a day such as this and I join them to lie in the sun with it warming my back and cheek and I try to remember that I am one little thing in a world full of things and that we are all equal.
