That translucent alabaster of our memories.

Summary

This quote refers to the ethereal and delicate nature of our memories. Like translucent alabaster, our memories are hazy, translucent, and prone to fading over time. The phrase evokes the sense of fragility and beauty, suggesting that our memories are not always vivid or permanent, but rather delicate and fleeting. It implies that our recollections may have a dreamlike quality, leaving behind an impression or trace that can be obscured or forgotten as time passes.

But for me, being naked out of doors and in the water is one of the best ways I have ever found to restore my sense of blissful innocence. It takes me back to that place of my almost forgotten childhood, where I got to run around undressed without anyone telling me I had to cover up or be embarrassed.
