This morning we got up before daylight, just to watch the dawn over our beautiful Lake Mead here in Nevada. For all the years I have lived in Las Vegas I had never watched the sunrise over our lake. But today I rolled out of bed, packed up the chihuahua and off we went into the pitch blackness of the Nevada desert.
By the time we got to the lake...there was an orange glow in the distance. Beyond the ridge that I was standing on were two coyotes, frolicking and playing together. Behind me I could hear the relentless howl of another group of coyotes as they seemed to be welcoming the dawn. A lone hawk skimmed the water's edge looking for fish....and the bats swooped past me as they ate their final meals of mosquitos before retiring to a cave somewhere to sleep the day away. It was beautiful this morning. A sweet peace and solitude that soothed the soul and filled my mind with graditude for the moment and a graditude for being alive and being a small speck in God's universe. It was good to experience the wonder of this sunrise.....and I will do it again.
