Very nice sentence. I like it. Also I like that one:
“There is a transcendental dimension beyond language... It's just hard as hell to talk about!”
― Terence McKenna
This is so similar to the mystic Hindi poet Kabir's verses:
"This is a Secret Divine,
It's not something to be said and heard.
One who knows about It, isn't able to express It in words
And one who talks about it knows nothing in the first place."
