At
6 am I awoke in Montezuma and stepped out onto the second floor deck of Hotel
Lucy. What I saw gave me such pause that I literally had to sit down. The sun
had just risen over the Pacific Ocean, was shining brightly through sparse
clouds and sunlight was dancing on the water. A sea of tiny twinkling lights
appeared on the ocean surface that caught my complete attention. It was
mesmerizing. It reminded me of the lights on Broadway, or the boardwalk at
night; flashing to grab the attention of a passerby. Try as we might, we fail
to capture or imitate nature’s beauty.
