The Arborist - Bosse-de-Nage

You have disregarded the advice of your friends and entered an accord with the

arborist

He brings you to his special garden at the center of which is a circle of trees

Next to each tree is a sort of well that is meant to receive a person

You will be placed in one of these holes with only your head above the earth

For several weeks you will engage in intense meditation on your novel existence

However, you will eventually grow anxious and restless

Others will come and take their places in the holes near you

You will find it easy to befriend them, but as the months pass you will begin

to bicker and experience jealousy

At length, the affinity you feel for your tree becomes something which you

cannot express and you will form a union which excludes all others

Soon after, young roots will find you and brush against your most tender places
