….perhaps no clothes at all!

Maybe quarter of a century ago the man I was living with suggested that we take a weeks holiday in a nudist colony in Croatia.

Gulp! Ummm errr? Well OK…. you would like to go… so I will errrrr…give it a go…
I went ahead and booked it.

And having sunshine on the skin, the breezes, blue skies, pines trees and no encasement in a nylon swimming costume was actually delightful…as was – for those with febrile imaginations – reading my way through seven paperbacks!

Year later when James spoke, in an early Macclesfield talk, of ‘how to be naked’…this literal-minded beginner thought ‘well at least that’s something I can already do!’ Duh!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!

You’ll get my drift in a minute…

I wrote a post about ‘This is it‘– Revealing the Great Completion , James’ latest, profound and very beautiful, book back in July.

In August he launched this book at Watkins bookstore where they stock many of his books, and will post them to you.
They recorded this event and uploaded it to their YouTube page so you can watch it here… and see for yourself exactly what kind of ‘artificial clothing’ he was inviting us to abandon, to move freely as the dancer on the cover above…

(hint..it’s not a manmade/womanmade synthetic swimming costume, yet there are parallels in the seemingly obligatory wraps and cover-ups of our disguise, printed with patterns which feel so very, essentially, ‘us’ )

Whether or not you are drawn towards buying the book the overview James gives in the video is, I think, very helpful.
