The experience left me in awe as I couldn’t fathom just how the sun could just gently tilt its head over the glistening waters and sit on the horizon.

I wrote the following account at 6 am, on February 17, 2001 while at the Ocean View Bible Camp.

“The stillness of the night is no more. The freshness of the morning breeze is evident as I watch the sun come up over the horizon. 

The morning air and atmosphere is hard to describe as I stand on the hill top watching the sun perching its head over the horizon.

The sun sits on the horizon and its reflection brightens the sea and birds flutter thier wings in the cool morning air. Its amazing to see the stillness of the sea and to watch the sun rise above the horizon. Its beautiful!

The mountains are not far away and not many houses are insight, no clusters, just freedom. This tranquility is only interrupted by the soothing sea breeze. No hustling , no bustling , no horns, it feels as though there is no pollution in the air. ”

Lovers Leap, St. Elizabeth.
