Perhaps there is more Divinity in the spontaneous play of children than in the erudition of the scholar or the asceticism of the saint. That is what I have always thought. Only (smiling) it is a Divinity which is quite unconscious of Itself.
As for me, I must confess to you that I feel much more essentially myself when I am joyful and when I play – my own way than when I am very grave and very serious – much more. Grave and serious that always gives me the impression that I am dragging the weight of all this creation, so heavy and so obscure, whereas when I play – when I play, then I can laugh, can enjoy myself – it gives me the feeling of a fine powder of delight falling from above and tinting this creation, this world with a very special colour and bringing it much closer to what it should essentially be.
