I’m in Madrid looking out at an older gentleman seemingly naked (who knows, there might be shorts) on his terrace with plants as a generous fig leaf. Ultimate freedom and comfort with himself, I’m digging it

I nearly gave my therapist a heart attack this morning when I exclaimed energetically “what the f, dude?” at the end of our session, about something completely unrelated to him. He told me at least he was awake now
