The clothes
we wear are wonderful, they are comfortable and creative. We make them,trade
them,sell them and give them away. They are our skin, our coat of armor.
Every stain and patch and tear,added that much more character. I don't
wash them cause they smell like fire and dust, and oils~As do my body.
What a wonderful smell. Identification. True living it is to be filthy,a
wonderful filthy.-Peter Jedick ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Life

love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which
flows on, pointless. -D.H. Lawrence ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

come back to here and now. -Dan Millman

Your
clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful...
Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and
less of your raiment,For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the
hand of life is in the wind...Forget not that modesty is for a shield against
the eye of the unclean.And when the unclean shall be no more, what were
modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?And forget not that the
earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your
hair.-Kahlil Gibran
