The cool of night on the open water is a welcome change from the sticky island oppression. The darkness beyond is complete, there is no glimmer of civilization in the distance, just us. The rumble of the motor overlaid with the waves on the bow combine, they drown out any noise that I wish to remain within our little family. I look out into the darkness, and feel the ocean breeze wrap around me, and lay down. And there in the heavens, instead of darkness, is a sheet of stars. It’s hard to distinguish one star from another, they overlap and intertwine into a tapestry that no man could ever dream of making. Suddenly that’s all I can see, there is no more boat, no ocean, no friends, no fear. Only the stars and our Creator is left. But the stars do more than shine into the darkness, they are a ray of Truth in a world flooded with lies.
