Joyous

“Nudists really exist! Those crazy bastards are really for real. You see what it meant? It was the other world discovered. It was like coming home. It was the bright permanent antidote to the grey world-view of Smalltown Appalachia. It was freedom. My spirit soared, because I knew, in a flash of confirmation, that my earlier intuitions had been sound, I had found my people. And I have never left them since, nor ever will. From Bare in Mind, June 1974 “There’s something joyous about [naturism] and I urge everyone to try it ... If you can’t get your kicks in that incredibly innocent, joyful way, then the world is not a good place.” —Kate Humble
