"We - or at least I - shall not be able to adore God on the highest occasions if we have learned no habit of doing so on the lowest. At best, our faith and reason will tell us that He is adorable, but we shall not have found Him so, not have 'tasted and seen'. Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are 'patches of Godlight' in the woods of our experience."
CS Lewis, Prayer: Letters to Malcolm Ch17
(Ok, so I know just posting a quote is blatant lazy blogging... but I love them... and YAY for sunshine and experiences in life to taste and see that He is good...)
