Meditation:
Lord, you have been our dwelling place
    throughout all generations.
Before the mountains were born
    or you brought forth the earth and the world,
    from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
    —Psalm 90:1-2 (NIV)
Quotation:
    He knoweth nothing as he ought to know [it], who thinks he knoweth anything without seeing its place and the manner how it relateth to God, angels, and men, and to all the creatures in earth, heaven and hell, time and eternity.
    ... Thomas Traherne (1637?-1674), Christian Ethicks, Cornell University Press, 1968, p. 69 (see the book)
