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.
