Small garden in the middle, the magnificent church, and it's quiet and gentle and then there's the statue of Mary in the garden, which always has flowers and candles in front of her. Mary's someone I could connect to.

It is the old churches that I was talking about. There is an old Cathedral in downtown St. Louis that was built in 1916, Whenever I was downtown, I liked to go inside and just sit. There is an air of peace. As I said, these churches are like old souls that have seen so much happiness and pain that they have reached a quiet equilibrium of sorts.

Exactly. Seen it all, and still standing, with grace.
