"This mystical wisdom will occasionally so engulf a person in its secret abyss that she will have the keen awareness of being brought into a place far removed from every creature. She will accordingly feel that she has been led into a remarkably deep and vast wilderness, unattainable by any human creature, into an immense, unbounded desert, the more delightful, savorous, and loving, the deeper, vaster, and more solitary it is."
St. John of the Cross
16th century Spanish mystic
