I
live with my wife in a small house on a small lot in a small town, but
sometimes it becomes clear to me that my true home – my dominion, you might say – is far larger than that. The word
“dominion” stems from the Latin word domus,
meaning “home”, and my real home is a vast one, stretching from the most
distant stars to the deepest depths of the ocean. The truth is that, like all
of us, I am an inseparable and essential part of a measureless universe. My home is not Mystic, but the cosmos
itself, a cosmos where all things, from new-born babies to massive spans of
mountains, are of equal importance. We all share dominion in this dominion of
ours, this universe that knows no end to its territories and provinces. From infinitesimal insects, to trees in
forests, to presidents, to poor wanderers -- we’re all kings and queens forever
and everywhere -- if only we knew it. This morning, lucky for me, I’m knowing
it.
