Neither more nor less

To lie supine before a mere twig of a Dawn Redwood tree in Tompkins Square Park is certainly not common behavior and to do so while covered with earth , leaves and other mystery detritus places this scene clearly in the realm of the at least somewhat bizarre .

Whether an act of devout earth or vegitation worship or a sybaritic revel in an "earth-n-herbal" whole body beauty treatment , the man remained covered and motionless for a few minutes then stood , covered in dirt and plant matter , and walked away seemingly restored by this unusual ritual .
