The essence of earth

All obligations for the day were over, and the thunderstorm that has started the day before still raged on. The ground in some places had become soggy, the drenched soil turned to a cloggy mud.

It probably wouldn't be the place of choice for a stroll or to concentrate for most people, but that is precisely what the cheerful Iuchi went out to do. He sat down on the soggy ground, positioned himself in a lotus position and let the sound of the rain, the feeling of the cold, wet earth on his body and the smell of the drenched earth sink in as he closed his eyes. This had been a mostly calm and successful day for him, a clear contrast to the chaos of the night before. It was funny how things changed fast.

After some time, he felt he could not really find much focus, but still stayed quiet for some time, feeling the rain touch his hair and face, before he finally stood up.

Clothes drenched and cloggy, he started walking around at the mud, almost as if continuing his meditation with his eyes open while walking. He then seems to find something, kneels down and gets some pebbles, cleaning them a bit with some water in a puddle before he places them inside his sleeve. He then gets a small, simple paper pouch and looks around some more, then gets down, gathers some soft mud with his hands, and places it inside the pouch.

His hair drenched, his clothes wet and muddy, he stands up and smiles. "Doumo arigatou gozaimasu, chi-no-kami. This should do perfectly", he says, bowing apparently to no-one in particular and gesturing a small prayer.
