“Take your shoes off man” “What? Why?” “It feels good” gesturing to his feet already covered in mud. I was already soaked so I thought why not. I guess it doesn’t matter seeing as theyll be muddy whether I keep them on or not “Alright, now what?” BOOMF “AHH! WHAT THE HELL DUDE?!” i suck in a gasp of air as I try to reinflate my stomach after the hit. “Cmon man you. Im just having fun” “Alright fine lets have fun then” He charges but I’m prepared now. I step back dodging his jab then slide under his hook, grabbing him by the waist, I sweep his legs throwing him to the ground. We wrestle on the ground but once hes got to grapple hes already lost. I put him in an armbar and he finally taps out. “Never shoulda challeged you i guess” “Yeah now on top of being soaked we’re both covered in mud” “I guess i did win in some way then” He sits there for a second catching his breath. The rain mix with the mud on his face and arms, washing some of it off but leaving most of it clinging to him. I’m not much better off. Mud covering the outdoor pants i had just bought. Well thats what they were made for at least. The t-shirt however is probably gonna stain. “We better get back man” “Why?” “I dont know its raining?!” “Yeah? So? You know why don’t you just take in the moment?” “What moment? Its raining dude. Im covered in mud, its raining, and we need to get back before it gets worse.” “Itll be fine man trust. Weatherman says its not supposed to get much worse than this anyways.” He closes his eyes and looks up at the sky as the rain hits his face. Its almost as if hes trying to absorb the rain. Or the moment at least. “The rains not all bad man… I feel like in a way it heals you” That got a chuckle out of me “You sound like a hippie dude” “Yeah but its true man” I look at him still trying to absorb the rain. He looks pretty peaceful. Maybe he’s right.
