After Darius woke up and prepared himself for the day to come, he made a pot of tea and took a cup to the window just behind his desk in order to get his first look at the new day. What he saw there caused him to smile, and it was only a moment before he moved away from the window, and towards the entrance to the church.
The courtyard was covered in a soft layer of white, and large flakes of snow continued to fall slowly from the sky as he took a sip of his tea and watched the new world that had appeared while he slept. Not a track marred the surface of the new fallen snow in the square, and the sounds of the city seemed muffled to him in the entrance to the church.
Across the street however, he could see people walking slowly along, nodding and perhaps smiling to each other in greeting as they moved about their business. Each of them sharing a single moment with another in a world that seemed to have somehow softened overnight.
However each of those single moments added up together into a feeling of peace and goodwill between all people, on a day that was made beautiful by just one of the many wonders of nature. It was moment’s like this that made Darius the happiest, moments when all the world appeared at peace.
