We must try to penetrate our most secret self
Teilhard de Chardin's knowledge of himself in the Silence is powerfully described in the DIVINE MILIEU:
I sing of hemlocks whispering mysteries,
Of meadows green with promise,
Of lakes with secrets,
Of mountain peaks in touch with eternity,
Of solitude filled with murmurings we can never quite hear,
Of presences that hover just beyond the edge of perception,
Of meanings etched in snow, transcribed with wings;
I sing the truth
Of hidden things.
