I been reading David McCullough's masterful John Adams, and just read this paragraph from one of John Adam's letters, written in 1813 (quoted on page 612):
"I am an atom of intellect with millions of solar systems over my head, under my feet, on my right hand, on my left, before me, and my adoration of the intelligence that contrived and the power that rules the stupendous fabric is too profound to believe them capable of anything unjust or cruel."
Amen! (If it weren't for Lent, I'd add a double Alleluia!)
