A few years ago I once house sat for some friends of mine with an Apricot Tree in their backyard. After the Summer rains came through, the area underneath was a muddy stew, saturated with the ripe apricots that fell from high up. It was an enclosed yard, with privacy on all sides, & soon I began to see the possibilities. That afternoon I wracked the apricot seeds out from under, & later that evening, I went outside, I got naked & I slathered myself head to toe in the sweet muddy mess! The experience was multi-orgasmic. Many hours I spent, engaging myself with nature in such an intimate way. With the dawn, came the rain, which washed over me like an affirmation that what I took part in was an appreciation & a renewal of nature.
