If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.

    Wenn man das Bedürfnis nach etwas Großem, Unendlichem, Etwas spürt, das sich Gott bewusst macht, muss man nicht weit gehen, um es zu finden. Ich denke, ich sehe etwas tieferes, unendlicheres, ewiger als der Ozean im Ausdruck der Augen eines kleinen Babys, wenn es morgens aufwacht und brummt oder lacht, weil es die Sonne auf seine Wiege scheint.

    si on ressent le besoin de quelque chose de grandiose, d'infini, de quelque chose qui donne l'impression de prendre conscience de Dieu, il n'est pas nécessaire d'aller loin pour le trouver. Je pense que je vois quelque chose de plus profond, de plus infini, de plus éternel que l'océan dans l'expression des yeux d'un petit bébé quand il se réveille le matin et roucoule ou rit parce qu'il voit le soleil briller sur son berceau.
