“One knows it by experiencing it.”

— Henry Suso

The Exemplar, The Life of the Servant
Context: No one can explain this to another just In this wild mountain region of the 'where' beyond God there is an abyss full of play and feeling for all pure spirits with words. No one can explain this to another just with words. One knows it by experiencing it One knows it by experiencing it.
