Beautiful

Tonight I went over to Greaves Hall to watch a movie with Kayla and some of her residents/friends. On the way back, I had one of those moments where it felt like I had just woken up from a wonderful sleep.
It was like... the silence pierced my soul. Every building was dark, but the streetlamps along the sidewalks made everything look so alive. The moon was bright, the sky was clear, and the snow is still untouched in most places. Even though it was freezing outside, I felt warm. I felt safe, though I was alone. The only sound I could hear was the snow crunching under my boots and the swish of my jeans. The feeling was one of absolute perfection and beauty, and it was incredible to be a part of such a moment. I wanted to keep walking, staring at the world in its white blanket. So soft. This earth really is a place of such exquisite beauty that we take advantage of.
