i've never seen such beautiful bodies than at the beach in Florida this June.
not the rippling-muscled, well-toned, firm bodies of [insert any vapid beach movie/TV show here] - i mean the diversity of people with every shape, contour, and size of body. every body.
all of us lacking all self-consciousness as we enjoyed the sea and sand.
the very old Middle Eastern men collecting shells, the charming Russian family and their bright beach umbrella, the disheveled couples chasing joyful young children, the svelte and stylish teenagers making out in the surf, the pale, round Midwestern tourists loping along the shore in tennis shoes ... in this company, my body, spreading out here and there on my beach chair, was just another of so many shapes, and perfect exactly as it is - mom belly, lopsided breasts, flabby arms and all!
