When I was a kid I once fell off my swing set. It was a durable swing set, mind you. The issue of its strength is not in question here, since I was simply trying to do one of those backflips.
It was rainy and the earth-floor was muddy.
In failing the maneuver, I found my face meeting the ground, followed suit by a bloody nose. All while being covered in mud!
Now, if I were to have tried this trick on a nice sunny day, I would still likely have failed. Yeah, its not like rain helped me out, but even with a good dry grip, I reckon I'd still have gotten that bloody nose.
The difference being the mud.
A face with blood streaming down it alongside mud intermingling.
Or a face with just blood streaming down it. No mud involved.
My point being: don't mind the mud, a bloody nose would have been the result either way.
Relation to Zen
Doubtless in reading my memory you probably thought "what in the fuck is Jaethrandir going on about? This has nothing to do with Zen!"
Case in point.
