Glorious

 

The city of Los Angeles is a beast of its own kind, often described as a concrete jungle where dreams are made and broken. But amidst the hustle and bustle of this metropolis lies a hidden gem – a peaceful paradise where one can escape the chaos and find solace in the embrace of nature. And this morning, I ventured into this oasis with my trusted companion – my four-legged friend who is always ready for an adventure.

Our journey began before the break of dawn, with my loyal companion barking in my face, demanding that I awaken from my slumber. As I begrudgingly opened my eyes and peered at the clock, I realized it was only 6am – not exactly a pleasant hour for most to be up and about. But my furry friend didn’t care about time, he was eager to embrace the day and I was determined to match his enthusiasm.

I suited up with layers upon layers of clothing, bracing myself for the chilly 42 degree weather – a stark contrast to the warmth and sunshine that Los Angeles is known for. But my companion and I aren’t ones to shy away from a challenge, so we ventured out into the crisp morning air.

As we approached the park, I couldn’t help but take in the sights. The crisp morning air, the dewy grass, – it was a sight to behold. We had arrived, and to our delight, we were greeted with an empty park. Just the two of us, ready to take on whatever the day had in store. It was a surreal experience, like we were in our own little world, disconnected from the chaos and noise of the city. The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon, bathing everything in its warm golden light. We had the entire park to ourselves, and it was nothing short of glorious.

My furry companion and I ran through the park, his barks echoing through the empty space. He sniffed at every bush and tree, marking his territory and claiming this little corner of paradise as his own. We climbed hills, chasing after each other, never tiring, never slowing down.

But our adventure didn’t end there. We foraged along the shoreline of small lakes, the water gently lapping against our feet. I watched in awe as my dog stopped and stared out over the water, savoring every moment, every sensation. And I couldn’t help but feel grateful for this precious moment we were sharing – just the two of us, free from the chaos and stress of city life.

And just like that, our time was up. Reluctantly, we boarded the Jeep, preparing to face the reality of morning rush hour in Los Angeles. But even in the midst of the craziness and chaos of the city, I couldn’t help but smile, knowing that I had started my day with a peaceful and rejuvenating escape into nature.

For those who have never experienced a morning like this, I urge you to give it a try. Wake up before the sun rises, and venture into nature with a loyal companion by your side. Trust me, it will be a morning well spent – a moment of peace and tranquility amidst the madness of the city. And who knows, you may just find yourself falling in love with Los Angeles all over again.
