Early - before the sun begins to swipe its light across the dark sky - our city of Tshwane/Pretoria lies peaceful and almost still. The view full of detail in the day is limited to a thousand sparkling lights tonight and it leaves me awed again and again. I don't tire of this immense vista, day or night, but at night I feel something deeply calming. The city is at rest. I look down on a gently rising and falling ocean beneath us, a sigh of stillness as the city slows its pace and gathers itself for the morning tide.
