Time after time in therapy I listen to people trying to sort out their feelings of desire and sensuality in terms of their spouse or lover. They rarely consider the sexual nature of their work, their homes, or their experience of nature. In their sacred dance, the Wachandi honor a profound mystery: the fact that the earth has sex organs. They reveal that the earth itself is sexual, and that the human experience of sex embraces both persons and world.
