Contact/now-naked
Hi
The ability to live fully in the present is one of the benefits that what I
call the “trans-Fall” state of being brings us. In the words of D.H. Lawrence, there
is a “marvellous rich world of contact and sheer fluid beauty/ and fearless face-toface
awareness of now-naked life” waiting for us, if we can manage to subdue our
constant thought-chatter and transfer some of the vitality we waste through it into
our perceptions of the world around us.
--- I'd like to ask how do you understand these two: "contact" and "now-naked life"?
Maybe "contact" means here a relationship or maybe just some "contact"?
What about "now-naked life"? Is it possible to use a similar term here which would mean more or less the same? Maybe it means "real life" or something like that?
