Just got in from viewing the sunrise over the Falls. I am just in awe at the beauty and power of this place. We see it every where, everyday, the power and beauty of God's creation, but there are special places that resonate to us, individually or as humans in general. Growing up around here I am sure that you would have to stop and make yourself really see the Falls for more than what you are used to seeing every day. But to come here and visit and see it for the first time and to witness each aspect for just a time or two, knowing you will only have memories to draw from in the future. You have to savour each moment, each connection has to be made vivid. At dawn just before the sun rose over the horizon, I heard the sprinklers tapping as they watered the grass. Down, just to the left of the Zambezi river about a 100 yards or so, I could hear the monkeys playing and screaming as the moved from tree to tree and scurried across the ground, the gorge magnifies the sound perfectly. Watching the mist rise 100's of feet into the air with the spreading light behind it's colors of gold and red from just to each side of the falls, in anticipation of the day, feels like seeing an old friend for the first time in a long time. When you first see them after great anticipation, there is a real surge of joy and excitement that does not last once you start your visiting, it is only when you first see them that you experience that intense moment. I can see the mist that results from the tremendous power of the water crashing down into the gorge, I can feel that power almost a mile away, I can hear it, and as the three senses converge to make this overwhelming memory, it is the early morning experience, the chill in the air that puts an emphatic touch of surreal on the moment that, with such poignancy, will last the rest of my life. It was a morning of beauty and significance.

I am thankful to have been here to see and feel this great creation of Jehovah's. As with most people, the more I see, I can only be made to be humbled at my insignificance in the power of what God has done and continues to do.
