“I like it here much better. I think what people build can be very beautiful, but what God builds goes beyond beauty. You stand outside Notre Dame, say, and you marvel at the accomplishment, but you can’t really connect. It’s artificial, do you see? It’s only a representation of something. Spirit, holiness, maybe even God. But it’s not a thing itself. Out here, it’s all there before you, around you. you’re steeped in it, the real thing. Spirit, Holiness, God.”
