Ultimate Connectivity:
getting naked with nature

Janet Kuypers
started 10/7/16, finished 10/8/16

After hiking for miles
at Arches National Park,
I realized that coming
at a cooler time of year
pretty much meant
that I had the park to myself.

I walked for miles,
saw no one,      anywhere,
and when I saw that no one
had followed my walk
along one ridged mountainous

edge to a plateau,
I did something
I never thought I would do
in a public place.
I looked around,
saw for miles
that I was alone,
so I got undressed,
and sat in the lotus position
on top of my small pile of clothes
and tried
for one brief moment
to connect with nature.

I’d close my eyes.
Then open my eyes,
find no one still there,
then look around,
maybe close my eyes again.

The only thing that stopped me
was the breeze
at this mountain ridge,
‘til I decided
that maybe I had
enough nature
for one day
before I put on my clothes
and continued my walk,
watching the red rock
and truly feeling
that I was finally
a part of this world.
