What on earth are you thinking! No, not that kind of naked where I sit in front of the computer in my ancient, wrinkly body suit. No! NOT! The naked you mean is someone not covered with clothing or other protective layers. Does fat count? No.
The naked I mean is described as defenseless, unadorned, undressed, stripped and exposed, not adorned by artificial means, not covered with its usual covering. No concealing cover or even unarmed.
And at 5:00 a.m. this morning, coffee in cup and pen in hand, I write my naked truth for all the world to see. My failures, pretense and shame; my attitudes, pain and history; my experiences, self-destruction and memories.
Without this nakedness, my writing can only be described as boring. Without life experiences, we are nothing. We have nothing to share.
Think of a newborn babe who could tell you nothing at all about its experience on earth. But we? We gather stories every single day. Excuse me. Enough of that, it’s time for me to face the world and put on some clothes. It is awfully chilly to be exposed like this.
