I am trying to be real here and not post what I think other people want but post what's going on in my life, and items that in a way reveal my soul and my longing, my likes and how that changes. I have many interests and I am on a spiritual and physical quest for greater understanding and expression.

I love working out and keep fit and active. I have had a series of unforeseen injuries adn other physical issues that have impacted my life and routines but in spite of them I am still working out and trying to address what has come up. These pictures were taken last week, I am 70 years old. Age is just a number, it's what is in your mind and heart which determines how you feel and act. Limits exist only in your mind, even physical limits can be exceeded with careful attention and determination. I have had a shoulder injury, eye surgeries, crazy intestinal infections and now have been dealing with mysterious leg pain that still has not been diagnosed. In spite of all that I keep moving, and learning what I can from these issues.

If you come across my Tumblr Blog you have already figured out I am queer, a nudist, naturist, a passionate gardener, a poet, a singer songwriter, I work out and love being physical, I love handsome masculine men or all types, but also love the beauty of worms and really all thing beautiful like art of various types and nature. I love being out in nature passionately. You will not find "porn" on my blog but you may find beautiful nudity, or nude art, even something mildly erotic but I have not set off to create a porn page. I see a lot of that and really am not against erotic posts but some are rather crude at times and lack merit. To each his or her own and I advise all to live as they will, but do no harm. I really love some of the nature photos I haver seem adn marvelous art posted especially the original. I have posted some of mine but compared to what I has seen, mine are crude kindergarten scribbles by comparison. I mostly make jewelry and dream catchers at present. I also as the title of my page indicates I am on a life Vision Quest. I am so ritually evolving and eclectic. So if you don't mind variety and are not looking for porn, have a good heart and not given to judgment or prejudices and bigotry, welcome aboard.

Verses On Being Yourself

Being yourself is your gift  to the Universe,

Knowing yourself is your lesson in life,

freeing yourself is the daily path you take

on your way to the power you have always surmised

but have been apprehensive to dare express.

With simple deliberate acts we begin

to reclaim the potential dreams and ideals

we have left behind in haste, omission

or along the road of disappointment. 

Small steps indeed begin a long journey.

Start to make peace with your life’s follies;

release the misdeeds of the present and past.

Those your have either feared or hated, forgive;

for the shackles of a grudge will slow your walk 

and the bitter chains of anger only grow heavier.

Look into the Hidden Valley of Dreams;

there can be found  a secret place of knowing,

a clear pool that reflects an endless blue sky

where your spirit can soar in consummate freedom.

Reflect often beside those sacred waters of imagination.

Being in this precious moment is enough, 

all you need exists in the Ever Present Now.

Feel the rhythm of your heartbeat and breath,

you are alive and that is sufficient to begin

to claim and affirm your posterity.

Expect that all you seek can be reality,

assert that  there is no height too great

that you cannot surmount or climb.

Believe in the One that made you,

a Force perpetual, ready to inspire.

Remember the prowess yours to express,

keep in mind  the step that starts the mile,

retain that  we are not alone on our journey

and learn this, the Truth though painful

is more precious than a beautiful lie.

Dancing round my night fire. Stars above me oh so bight. Moon is shining, blessed moment, rising energy, sacred light!

In spite of many health setbacks, I am back at the gym and working out at home. These were taken this week. Progress slow but sure.

A goody collage portrait I did with the kids in the art class I taught. We used magazine clippings, color pencil, markers, and crayon, of course glue.

This us a self portrait I did a few years back when I had more hair and I was camping up in the mountains of Wisconsin.
