Elizabeth Gilbert Quote

Which wishes for communion with us. This supreme intelligence longs to be known. It calls out to us. It draws us close to its mystery, and it grants us these remarkable minds, in order that we try to reach for it. It wants us to find it. It wants union with us, more than anything. I know that is what you think, said Alma, patting his hand again, and I believe it is quite an inventive notion, Mr. Wallace. Do you think I’m correct?
