Yesterday i spent the evening at Larabee state park.
On a whim I drove out there with Leah, Uri, and his friend David.
We hiked down to the beach and then across the rocks parallel to the water.
The air was hot, the water was clear, and the view was amazing.
I suggested we go swimming.
Leah and David wouldnt go, but uri and i stripped down to our underwear and went in.
The water was cold, it stung. But the air was warm enough. I welcomed the cold, hard pressure.
Uri plunged under and i followed suite, tasting the salty water at the corners of my mouth.
We didnt stay in very long, it was already getting dark.
I held my clothes in my arms as we walked back along the tracks, parts of my body still stinging from the water.
It began to rain. Big, fat droplets.
I let the warm air surround my exposed body and felt the individual drops hit my skin.
We walked in silence through the rain.
We came to the trail end and began our ascent back up to the road.
Parts of the way were steep, almost vertical.
We could barely see in the dark, I groped at branches and plants along the muddy trail, flicking dirt on all parts of my body.
I could only see the outlines of the people in front of me.
Eventually we lost the trail and began bushwacking our way upward.
I felt the wet plants brushing against my bare legs, arms, and stomach.
Soaking wet and nearly naked, so close to the earth.
It was the most free i have felt in a long time.
