The sun was warm against his back as Darius knelt beside his herb garden. He took a moment to breathe in the scents of freshly trimmed grass and the rich earth of the garden itself before he got down to the task at hand.

Leaning forward, he braced himself on one arm as he reached out to pull a small plant from between the rows of mint and basil. He spent the next several minutes weeding the garden, the same as he did ever morning, humming softly to himself in the process.

It was the beginning of a good day.

Thank you. Most people these days seem to be too busy for such things, sadly enough.

Indeed. The fundamentals are always the same, even if the details change. I still hope that one day people will remember to live their lives with that in mind.
