in the early morning

this morning, for whatever reason, i couldn't sleep. maybe i was too excited for the stake seven peaks activity, but i couldn't sleep past five a.m. which is very uncharacteristic.

but i decided to make the best of it, so i grabbed provisions (read: reading materials. what else?) and went out to the balcony.

it was too dark, at first, to read, so i had my little flashlight. but i watched as the sky slowly turned from dark, deep blue to a lighter azure to crisp grey to, finally, bright white as the sun started to peak out from behind Y mountain.

and for a moment i closed my eyes, because i could hear the music of the spheres, or maybe it was the trains in the distance. but either way, what a sunrise.

but since i didn't have a camera, here are some other beautiful sunrises to inspire you.
