There are times in life when something quite simple seems to strike a wonderful chord within you like the perfect piece of music; a delicious dessert; a soul-moving sermon. I recently came upon one of these times. After completing an evening of studying at the campus library, I began the walk back to my dorm. It was 10 o'clock and the campus was nearly empty, with little noise to disturb the scene. Not to go off-subject, I have decided I absolutely love the weather of the Utah valley. This evening was the perfect combination of 70 degrees, low humidity, and a faint, soundless breeze. As I strolled across the main plaza of campus, listening to beautifully soothing piano music, I gazed up at the silhouetted mountains and the star-filled Utah sky. No rush, no stress, no lingering regrets, no pending assignments or studying. Just the weather, the mountains, the sky, the perfect music--all became a world separate from the rest. It's times like those that help one to see how beautiful life is.
