"There is no place at all in this vast universe

where we can meet God except within ourselves.

Here, He waits for us; here we face Him and talk to Him;

here, He answers us.

...If we were to grasp, even for a single moment,

the reality of God and our relationship to Him,

our own reality would at once be unveiled to us.

We would then realize that we are nothing

when compared to the infinite greatness of God."

Matthew the Poor,  Orthdox Prayer Life
