Dawn in Africa
[Written 1 hour away from landing in Nairobi]
Morning light is creeping up the sky from the horizon, a deep orange. The morning star hangs low. Even though we are flying across the face of the earth, the sky is seems to hold still even as its colors brighten slowly, slowly. The ground is lit up. I see a mountain with a sharp peak on the horizon - just a silhouette. But down below is a large lake, faintly outlined against the dark earth.
I'm going to be stepping on African soil for the first time! Lord, what a gift!
