– Tomorrow … Tomorrow morning … What time?
– Just before sunrise… let’s catch it… let’s enjoy it…
– I mean what time does it rise?
– 7.7 am … I can’t! we will get up so early in the morning again, alarm at the 6 o’clock…
– So early! Why …
– Because, I need at least half an hour to get ready! Come on… we don’t even have a day off…
– Take coffee with you, I will.
– I won’t … Anastasia will make it for me, she promised me so, as soon as the sun rises …
– Don’t forget … I’ll come to get you…
-Good!!! Goodnight Lina…
The above dialogue, completely true and not just the product of an imaginary prologue, was the prelude to that unique sunrise enjoyed by three friends at the end of this September.
Someone could say that this was the discussion of three teenagers on vacation, but this was not their first adolescence … It could be their third and even more! And they weren’t even on vacation … at least not only on vacation, but after all, these are details of no particular importance … (blessure, we call it now, just to know exactly what we’re talking about)!
Some years ago, exactly how many I don’t really remember – how quickly years have passed – waking up in the summer, very early and enjoying the sunrise, was for me a ritual and a healing therapy. It filled me with these unacknowledged feelings of confused joy, vitality, but also unrestrained energy to create the unimaginable and impossible scenario…
I confess, that my common point still remains not to be able to get up early in the morning… (I admire women – especially women- who effortlessly wake up so early every day…) is a difficulty I continue to have 😊 up until today…
But any difficulty gets forgotten, with the scenery that follows, the moment you set your foot on the sand. Sunrise images cannot be accurately captured, photographs and lens in general, cannot accurately capture the magnificence of life in motion! Maybe because the experience is full of sensations which I am unable in describing, they just have to be experienced.
And yes at 7.7.a.m. sunrise time, timidly at first the prompt golden-orange light emerged from the left, and in less than 5 minutes the whole sun was shining – sun the “heliator”! Magic happened!!! Nobody moves …
It’s as if the sea suddenly began to exude aromas of freshness and citrus fruits, the eyes were focused on the light and the mind began to travel… I think, after all, it’s the best vitamin cocktail you can take to “endure” a day at the sea, on the hot sandy beach, full of colors and scents of nature and sea salt!!! Just have an idea of how tired you can get 😊 on the beach of Golden Beach…

P.S. Yes, we had our coffee time afterwards…
