Writing about Dawn in Las Vegas
Jalál (Glory), 12 Rahmat (Mercy), 165 BE – Saturday, July 5, 2008 about 5:13 AM PDT
As I sit looking out my living room window, the sky above my garage slowly transforms from deep ebony to blue. The sun is rising above Sunrise Mountain; it has not crested the Mountain's peek yet nor risen above the east part of the city.
However, dawn is approaching the change in the color of the sky proclaims Sol's return. A new day is about to wake the city from its fit full sleep. Las Vegas does not truly sleep, either during the night or during the day. Part of the city is always wide-awake no matter what time it is. Las Vegas is a 24/7 town, cannot close its eyes and sleep restfully through the night. Somewhere in the city, there is always some type of activity.
Dawn is a special time in Las Vegas; it is the point between the city's two natures. The city's nighttime activity and people are preparing for rest. The city's daylight business and citizens are waking up and getting ready to begin their day. The city seems to pause for a few seconds, perhaps in meditation or prayer, before the new day starts.
The sky above my garage is now pale blue, almost white as the sun nears the horizons. The sun's rays are transforming the sky and announcing the coming of daylight. Morning is here, it is time for another cup of coffee and breakfast considerations. It is time to stop and say prayers, meditate, drive home or drive to work, depending on an individual's plans for the day.
