To dwell comes from Old English dwellan
— as in to wander, to linger, to tarry —
… thus to take time in
and to inhabit as a home.

Whether we dwell in the infinitude of Nature, of Creation, and linger there,
— or dwell on such magnitude that it is, and thus wander in the improbable, unabashed abundance of Nature —
in doing so, we are then able to inhabit the possibility that that which we call Sacred might be around us, enveloping us, within us, and also is our home.
It is then that we might know Nature, and ourselves in it, to be one In matter, in substance,
and in energy that we experience
as life.

*“For those who have always dwelt on limited thoughts,
a good practice is to dwell in the magnitude of the Universe.”
