Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Quote – “When your presence flooded me with its light…”

When your presence flooded me with its light I hoped that within it I might find Ultimate Reality at its most tangible. But now that I have in fact laid hold on you, you who are utter consistency, and feel myself borne by you, I realize that my deepest hidden desire was not to possess you, but to be possessed.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881 – 1955)
