opportunity

Today, I would have had a great opportunity to spend a few hours apparel-free.  However, since I was not the only one sick at home, it was not to be.

But, that’s alright.

I don’t crave it like an addict would.  That would indicate a problem.

Instead, it’s an “oh well” moment.  Maybe next time I have to stay home from church it will be different.  No biggie.

On a different front, it’s still not ideal conditions to run naked (at night).  Too cold to do it comfortably.  Too soon (on the clock face) to do it worry-free.  To close to civilization, and too awkward to drive any distance at that late hour.  Maybe some day.  But not any time soon.

It’s not that I want to find excuses to not wear my underwear… it’s that I want to try different activities that, by their nature, preclude clothing.  Similar to how swimming, if done properly, precludes shoes.  If a person wanted to swim properly, it would be a logical fallacy to accuse them of just looking for excuses to not wear shoes… they just want to go swimming, and swimming necessitates the absence of shoes.  By the same token, I just want to experience activities like freehiking and skinny-dipping, which necessitate the absence of clothing.  Nothing more.
