African stars
















The days go by and we rarely take time to just sit, 'be still and know that He is God ', as it says in Psalm 46.

So, late on Sunday afternoon, we took some 4-wheel-drives, fled the chaos of the city, and found a deserted patch of land in the middle of nowhere. We had some food and then just watched the light drain from the sky.

In the late afternoon, we saw two bright stars. This turned into about 30 stars as the sky grew darker. And as the last remnants of light vanished, the millions or billions or trillions of stars came out, leaving us city-dwellers, who've rarely seen an unspoilt sky, gaze in awe.
