But for me the sweetest contact with God has no form. I close my eyes, look within, and enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God’s creation embraces me.

I donât know [why we’re here]. People sometimes say to me, âWhy donât you admit that the humming bird, the butterfly, the Bird of Paradise are proof of the wonderful things produced by Creation?â And I always say, well, when you say that, youâve also got to think of a little boy sitting on a river bank, like here, in West Africa, thatâs got a little worm, a living organism, in his eye and boring through the eyeball and is slowly turning him blind.
