This is the introductory episode for the Naturist Living Show.

It is a brief introduction to the show and its purpose and objectives.

Naturism is more than just taking your clothes off. It is a life philosophy with physical, psychological, environmental, social and moral benefits. The basic tenets of naturist are respect for self, for others and for the environment. Future episodes of this podcast will deal with topics that touch on these themes.

At the end of the show, we play "Nature is" by Brian Madison.

Episode I

Nature Is

©2003 Brian Madison

When winter gets me feeling low

There's just one place I want to go

Can't wait to see something live and green

Shed these layers, follow me dear

Shake of this grey winter right here

The trees and us with nothing in between

Unconstrained by cold conventions

Losing all our old pretensions

Lord knows baby, we have paid our dues

If we abandon all these modest schemes

And ratify some better memes

We've got nothing to lose but our blues

Naturally you, naturally me, naturally we

Naturally you, naturally me, naturally we

Barefoot beginnings that's a start

To liberate our gentle hearts

The grass between our toes no shoes or socks

Release the threads that keep us bound

Just leave them lying on the ground

In a little pile beside those rocks

Far away from preconceptions

No intentions, no deceptions

Nothing left to hide, just like we planned

Gymnasts, Sophists, dancers we

Have never ever felt so free

As running in this meadow, hand-in-hand

Natural you, natural we, natural me

Natural you, natural we, natural me

To civ'lization we return soon

But it's only quarter past noon

There's still time to roam these acres fair

Let's go see how that river flows

We'll have no need for fancy clothes

No uniforms or fig leaves if we dare

Taking off out in the woods

No strings attaached, no shame, no shoulds

We can just accept us as we are

No other way we'd rather be

Wearing smiles of joy we see

From social constructs we have come so far

The springtime breeze we'll welcome in

Like a birtyday, born again

Finding peace for life in our true skin

Let's have a picnic in the sun

We'll be like children, free and fun

The sun and air; that's what nature is

Nature is you, nature is we, nature is me

Nature is you, nature is we, nature is me

Nature is you, nature is we, nature is me

Nature is you, nature is we, nature is me
