How can you believe if you don't know anything about God? You explore the spirit of God the same way you explore the spirit of another person: you spend time in God's presence, you examine your own heart and mind with respect to God. You watch the world for signs of the spirit. You read what people in the past have felt and thought about it, and talk to people in the present who are also seeking. You sit quietly in meditation and see what comes up.
— Barbara Cawthorne Crafton, Meditations on the Book of Psalms
