Grass Stains
The other evening I got a grass stain on the knee of my jeans.
The weather’s been warming up again and the apartment was rather stuffy. I walked out into the twilight and was somehow made free by the cool, fresh air. I wish I had spent more time outside this year. Lord knows I’ve spent far too many hours in front of this computer screen.
I walked back inside, and on expressing my sentiments to my roommates, Erik suggested a game of catch. He grabbed the slightly limp football and we faced off in the grassy courtyard. Somehow throwing that football, being outside, falling and staining my pants relieved a bit of the deadness and stress this year has brought.
