on_holy_groundIt was still dark outside when Darius poured himself his first cup of tea, picked up the small plate containing his breakfast of yogurt and fruit, and moved over to settle down in the window seat. He smiled to himself as he watched the horizon begin to brighten as the sun started to rise. He could not see the sun itself from where he sat, but he could see the far-reaching effects that it had on everything around it as the sky changed from shades of gray, to shades of pink and orange, and finally to the white and blue that signaled the beginning of a new day.
Darius sat quietly watching all of this and eating his breakfast as he marveled yet again at all the beauty there was in the world, and at all the possibilities that lay before him. Morning was his time to quietly reflect and find that inner peace that had served him so well over the years. It was when he could look around and see how everything and everyone in the world had the chance to start over and to better themselves.
Mostly though, it was when he could look out at the city as it started to wake, when everything was still quiet, and for a moment truly see the peace that he had spent so long working to achieve.
