00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.980
The world woke in a hush of pastel

00:00:01.980 --> 00:00:03.779
gold and pale amethyst.

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.419
Up here, in the high alpine meadow, the

00:00:06.419 --> 00:00:08.580
air tasted of cold stone and pine,

00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:10.720
sharp enough to make the lungs ache with

00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:11.980
pure vitality.

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.240
Jagged peaks pierced the lightning sky,

00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:17.780
their ancient, snow -dusted crowns still holding the

00:00:17.780 --> 00:00:19.019
fierce shadows of the night.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.500
Beneath those giant stone sentinels, the earth was

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:23.879
shaking off its winter sleep.

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:27.039
A delicate spring frost glazed the blades of

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:27.820
emerald grass,

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:31.120
sparkling like crushed diamonds under the first tentative

00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:31.920
rays of dawn.

00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:34.840
As the sun crept higher, tipping the ridgeline

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:35.439
with fire,

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.979
the frost began to melt in real time,

00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:40.219
weeping tiny glistening beads of dew

00:00:40.219 --> 00:00:42.359
that slid down the stalks to nourish the

00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:42.979
soil below.

00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:45.299
Then came the riot of color.

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.399
Pushing bravely through the damp earth and melting

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:48.939
crystals,

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:52.039
the wildflowers erupted across the landscape in a

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:53.140
breathtaking mosaic.

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:57.320
Purples, yellows, and brilliant crimsons unfurled their petals,

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:01.240
each delicate texture catching the soft, diffused morning

00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:01.539
light.

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:04.640
It was a masterpiece of survival and rebirth,

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:06.719
painted by the quiet hands of nature.

00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:09.560
A solitary marmot poked its head from a

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:10.420
nearby burrow,

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.819
sniffing the fresh, peaceful atmosphere before letting out

00:01:13.819 --> 00:01:14.659
a cheerful whistle

00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:15.920
that echoed off the cliffs.

00:01:16.579 --> 00:01:18.519
The long winter was finally over.

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.480
The mountains stood witness as the valley below

00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:22.659
breathed in the new day,

00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:25.719
alive, vibrant, and completely at peace.
