Baring My Sole

i wonder why i lost it. 

was it a mirror?  was it my mother?

or perhaps it was just time.

somewhere along the way i forgot

how to be comfortable sans vetements.

naked.

bare.

au natural.

maybe it was all those stories about apples and

gardens and fig leaves....oh yes, and shame. 

...and then i see gabriel,

content to bare his sole to the world,

along with a multitude of rolls, wrinkles

and pudgy places.   nothing to deter the

exploration of self.   nothing but the limits

of his imagination and attention span. 

maybe that was it.

maybe i paid attention long enough to

notice i was naked.

where did adam and eve go after they

left the garden?

"into the Gap." lol

I am one of the people who is more comfortable in clothes. My husband is more like Gabriel. Opposites attracting or just the luck of the draw?
