The Environment Is Sensual

As Al Gore has stated many times correctly and which I also bellieve, the environment and solving the climate crisis is a moral issue. I also believe that the environment is very sensual. Nothing arouses me more than being out in nature. Feeling the Earth under my feet, breathing in the fragrances of the trees and hearing the sounds of nature (especially water) is a real turn on to me. Now, you don't see many people talking about the environment in that way or noting that corrolation, but I believe there is something to that and also the connection we share with Mother Earth that is spiritual and sensual.

Just to recount an experience of mine: years ago my husband and I were trying to have a baby and nothing we tried worked. I won't go into specifics but we were having a rough time of it and couldn't understand it because we were both healthy. Anyway, I went to my doctor who said to me that I was overworked and overstressed and that if I just got out into a natural setting away from all of the stress, noise, and city life and just took in the surroundings without thinking of it as a chore that it would happen... Well, not too long after that my husband and I went on a trip to Kauai and when I came back ( which I did not want to do) I was pregnant with my son. And I believe it truly was because I was in a natural setting that was an extension of myself where I could feel relaxed and free that life came from life. And I also saw a difference in my husband which I liked very much. It actually was the greatest and most intense experience of my life which I hope to recreate on a regular basis once my son is grown and on his own.

Aside from that, there is something to that in how we live our lives in corrolation to the atmosphere of the world. As we can see, a stresed world like ours where nature and environmental stewardship is not a priority lives in war, whereas a world more in tune with its own self and sensuality is at peace. It is the same for the human body and soul. Perhaps that is why so many Republicans in Congress and those of the right wing variety don't identify with the environment... they have a hard time with sensuality and sex and think it bad rather than a beautiful expression of the extension of our Earth which is connected to our souls. I say, their loss.

And how many of us today live in concrete cities being overworked, underpaid, and stressed out to the max over the daily routines we never question letting our true selves and desires go unanswered? Do you truly believe that was the way life was meant to be? Don't you then instantly feel free and renewed once you have left that concrete prison and the stress and descend into a world of natural and sensual desires?

That is why I also am interested in water issues, because apart from it being a human right and a necessity for life it is also a very sensual substance that renews the soul as well as the body and that renewal is something inate in us that we all seek. I guess you could then say that nature is my religion and my aphrodesiac, and being in it is what truly feeds my body, my soul, my mind, and my spirit.

So on this Earth Day I have every intention of taking a trip into that nature to reflect upon the life we have made for ourselves in this concrete world and the life we can have by looking for that spiritual and sensual balance... and then working to see the one we can have become a reality.

Happy Earth Day.

You could mean either, or both!!!!

Sensual or Sensuous?

In modern usage, sensual means "physical, gratifying the body or its senses."

Sensuous means "appealing to the senses, especially by beauty or flavor."

:hi: Happy Earth Day !!

Then we get laid.

Careful, tho, we really need to be smart about overpopulation and if more ladies get laid in the wild....... piece on Earth, and all that.

Kidding aside, people need to get out of doors and experience this planet's ecologies and all the diversity and life thereupon.

Earth is just one little speck in space, a grain of sand if you will, but what a grain. What a marvelous place. Earth First!

And oh yes, even with all it is going through today, what a truly marvelous place.

What a great place to get laid! Can you even imagine getting laid on Mars? So why would anybody want to go there?

We have the best, right here, and thank Gawd the Romans didn't have nukes, or we'd be sleeping in the mess they left.

Not safe for work, most places, but I've never worked in a place that would care. I'm not sure how I ran accross it. It reminds me of my own anti-nuclear days.

I've been swimming everywhere... naked. The earth is a sensual place.

In the dusty old skeleton closets of the internets somewhere there's a picture of me as a young man standing on the shore of Mono Lake wearing only a hat. But I gotta say the salty water was sorta icky.

The woman who took the picture could rip off a guy's privates without touching him, and Lord Almighty, I witnessed her say some incredible things to people she regarded as fools. But she always thought I was sort of cute, probably because I rarely talked.

In college I changed my major from Engineering to Biology because, well, the women outnumbered the men, and they were smart!
