Nudity

Nudity-----I need to talk about nudity. Here in Guinea, there seems to be an ease with nudity. I saw a young boy, about age 10 washing himself from a basin  right on the street. I see women with open blouses. I see women with dresses and the shoulders fall off and they leave it that way. It surprises me. It shocks me at other times. Now I reflect that from my North American paradigm, nudity equals sex. People here are comfortable with their bodies. There is no shame and no reaction to nudity. Life and bodies….everything is in sync.here. Interesting.
