The Lady Doth Protest Too Much

I have to carry Reactine around if there is any chance I’ll be around grass or pollen or else I have to deal with itching, tearing, sinus, swelling, etc. It’s not sexy OR cute.

I actually HATE the feel of dirt on my nails and feet, or the damp grass stain on my clothes, or clumps of wet sand between my toes. 

Earth is just earth to me. I can appreciate its beauty. I marvel at the thought that the mound of soil on the sole of my shoes took centuries to reach its final stage. But I don’t feel thrilled at the idea of experiencing it. 

It’s just that Mother Nature doesn’t stand as MY mother. She feels more like a close Aunt. I come to visit now and then, but I wouldn’t move in with her. Not my fault I’m not exactly her favourite either. I would gladly visit all those marvellous, naturistic spots with you and I am thrilled at the thought of creating new memories in distant, surreal places around the world. But know that I won’t be completely unpacking my luggage. I’m just visiting.
